// A Fact is an intermediate fact produced during analysis.
//
// Each fact is associated with a named declaration (a types.Object) or
// with a package as a whole. A single object or package may have
// multiple associated facts, but only one of any particular fact type.
//
// A Fact represents a predicate such as "never returns", but does not
// represent the subject of the predicate such as "function F" or "package P".
//
// Facts may be produced in one analysis pass and consumed by another
// analysis pass even if these are in different address spaces.
// If package P imports Q, all facts about Q produced during
// analysis of that package will be available during later analysis of P.
// Facts are analogous to type export data in a build system:
// just as export data enables separate compilation of several passes,
// facts enable "separate analysis".
//
// Each pass (a, p) starts with the set of facts produced by the
// same analyzer a applied to the packages directly imported by p.
// The analysis may add facts to the set, and they may be exported in turn.
// An analysis's Run function may retrieve facts by calling
// Pass.Import{Object,Package}Fact and update them using
// Pass.Export{Object,Package}Fact.
//
// A fact is logically private to its Analysis. To pass values
// between different analyzers, use the results mechanism;
// see Analyzer.Requires, Analyzer.ResultType, and Pass.ResultOf.
//
// A Fact type must be a pointer.
// Facts are encoded and decoded using encoding/gob.
// A Fact may implement the GobEncoder/GobDecoder interfaces
// to customize its encoding. Fact encoding should not fail.
//
// A Fact should not be modified once exported.
