// Do calls the function f if and only if the method is being called for the
// first time with this receiver.  In other words, given
// 	var once Once
// if Do(f) is called multiple times, only the first call will invoke f,
// even if f has a different value in each invocation.  A new instance of
// Once is required for each function to execute.
//
// Do is intended for initialization that must be run exactly once.  Since f
// is niladic, it may be necessary to use a function literal to capture the
// arguments to a function to be invoked by Do:
// 	config.once.Do(func() { config.init(filename) })
//
// Because no call to Do returns until the one call to f returns, if f causes
// Do to be called, it will deadlock.
