Here is an example: https://play.golang.org/p/ElnTtxHnF5I
The output of `go list -json ./pkg` only reports `TestEmbedPatterns`. The output of `go list -json -test ./pkg` reports TestEmbedFiles for the pkg package (it seems a bug, since it should also be reported without the -test flag). The TestEmbedFiles is also present in the generated `pkg.test` package and the pkg [pkg.test] package.
