// Regarding the implementation of Value:
//
// The Internal interface is a true interface value in the Go sense,
// but it also serves as a (type, address) pair in which one cannot
// be changed separately from the other.  That is, it serves as a way
// to prevent unsafe mutations of the Internal state even though
// we cannot (yet?) hide the field while preserving the ability for
// clients to make copies of Values.
//
// The internal method converts a Value into the expanded internalValue struct.
// If we could avoid exporting fields we'd probably make internalValue the
// definition of Value.
//
// If a Value is addressable (CanAddr returns true), then the Internal
// interface value holds a pointer to the actual field data, and Set stores
// through that pointer.  If a Value is not addressable (CanAddr returns false),
// then the Internal interface value holds the actual value.
//
// In addition to whether a value is addressable, we track whether it was
// obtained by using an unexported struct field.  Such values are allowed
// to be read, mainly to make fmt.Print more useful, but they are not
// allowed to be written.  We call such values read-only.
//
// A Value can be set (via the Set, SetUint, etc. methods) only if it is both
// addressable and not read-only.
//
// The two permission bits - addressable and read-only - are stored in
// the bottom two bits of the type pointer in the interface value.
//
//	ordinary value: Internal = value
//	addressable value: Internal = value, Internal.typ |= flagAddr
//	read-only value: Internal = value, Internal.typ |= flagRO
//	addressable, read-only value: Internal = value, Internal.typ |= flagAddr | flagRO
//
// It is important that the read-only values have the extra bit set
// (as opposed to using the bit to mean writable), because client code
// can grab the interface field and try to use it.  Having the extra bit
// set makes the type pointer compare not equal to any real type,
// so that a client cannot, say, write through v.Internal.(*int).
// The runtime routines that access interface types reject types with
// low bits set.
//
// If a Value fv = v.Method(i), then fv = v with the InternalMethod
// field set to i+1.  Methods are never addressable.
//
// All in all, this is a lot of effort just to avoid making this new API
// depend on a language change we'll probably do anyway, but
// it's helpful to keep the two separate, and much of the logic is
// necessary to implement the Interface method anyway.
