This file contains the code to check range loop variables bound inside function
literals that are deferred or launched in new goroutines. We only check
instances where the defer or go statement is the last statement in the loop
body, as otherwise we would need whole program analysis.

For example:

	for i, v := range s {
		go func() {
			println(i, v) // not what you might expect
		}()
	}
