Sorry, just thought it could also use clear to start getting accostumed :)
<code>
// GroupValue returns a new Value for a list of Attrs.
// The caller must not subsequently mutate the argument slice.
func GroupValue(as ...Attr) Value {
// Remove empty groups.
// It is simpler overall to do this at construction than
// to check each Group recursively for emptiness.
var write int
for read := range as {
if !as[read].isEmptyGroup() {
if read != write {
as[write] = as[read]
}
write++
}
}
clear(as[write:]) // no need to keep a reference to the string Key
as = as[:write]
return Value{num: uint64(len(as)), any: groupptr(unsage.SliceData(as))}
}
