const Doc = `check references to loop variables from within nested functions

This analyzer checks for references to loop variables from within a
function literal inside the loop body. It checks only instances where
the function literal is called in a defer or go statement that 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
		}()
	}
