const Doc = `check for redundant or impossible nil comparisons

The nilness checker inspects the control-flow graph of each function in
a package and reports nil pointer dereferences, degenerate nil
pointers, and panics with nil values. A degenerate comparison is of the form
x==nil or x!=nil where x is statically known to be nil or non-nil. These are
often a mistake, especially in control flow related to errors. Panics with nil
values are checked because they are not detectable by

	if r := recover(); r != nil {

This check reports conditions such as:

	if f == nil { // impossible condition (f is a function)
	}

and:

	p := &v
	...
	if p != nil { // tautological condition
	}

and:

	if p == nil {
		print(*p) // nil dereference
	}

and:

	if p == nil {
		panic(p)
	}
