Hypothetical example: Say I'm writing an application that uses "rsc.io/quote"
and I discover a bug in that package that breaks my software. I would of
course clone the quote repository, add a test that demonstrates the bug,
fix the bug, and submit a patch to the maintainer.
After making the fix bu

This is not a serious problem, but it surprised me. (By the way, how can I
post a message with code formatting?)
I'd like to create table-driven benchmarks:

To that end, I started with code from *The Go Programming Language*:
// PopCount is based on an examp
