+// The append built-in function appends elements to the end of a slice. If
+// it has sufficient capacity, the destination is resliced to accommodate the
+// new elements. If it does not, a new underlying array will be allocated.
+// Append returns the updated slice. It is therefore necessary to store the
+// result of append, often in the variable holding the slice itself:
+// slice = append(slice, elem1, elem2)
+// slice = append(slice, anotherSlice...)
+func append(slice []Type, elems ...Type) []Type
+
+// The copy built-in function copies elements from a source slice into a
+// destination slice. (As a special case, it also will copy bytes from a
+// string to a slice of bytes.) The source and destination may overlap. Copy
+// returns the number of elements copied, which will be the minimum of
+// len(src) and len(dst).
+func copy(dst, src []Type) int
+
+// The len built-in function returns the length of v, according to its type:
+// Array: the number of elements in v.
+// Pointer to array: the number of elements in *v (even if v is nil).
+// Slice, or map: the number of elements in v; if v is nil, len(v) is zero.
+// String: the number of bytes in v.
+// Channel: the number of elements queued (unread) in the channel buffer;
+// if v is nil, len(v) is zero.

+// The cap built-in function returns the capacity of v, according to its type:
+// Array: the number of elements in v (same as len(v)).
+// Pointer to array: the number of elements in *v (same as len(v)).
+// Slice: the maximum length the slice can reach when resliced;
+// if v is nil, cap(v) is zero.
+// Channel: the channel buffer capacity, in units of elements;
+// if v is nil, cap(v) is zero.
+func cap(v Type) int
+
+// The make built-in function allocates and initializes an object of type
+// slice, map, or chan (only). Like new, the first argument is a type, not a
+// value. Unlike new, make's return type is the same as the type of its
+// argument, not a pointer to it. The specification of the result depends on
+// the type:
+// Slice: The size specifies the length. The capacity of the slice is
+// equal to its length. A second integer argument may be provided to
+// specify a different capacity; it must be no smaller than the
+// length, so make([]int, 0, 10) allocates a slice of length 0 and
+// capacity 10.
+// Map: An initial allocation is made according to the size but the
+// resulting map has length 0. The size may be omitted, in which case
+// a small starting size is allocated.
+// Channel: The channel's buffer is initialized with the specified
+// buffer capacity. If zero, or the size is omitted, the channel is
+// unbuffered.
+func make(Type, size IntegerType) Type
+
+// The new built-in function allocates memory. The first argument is a type,
+// not a value, and the value returned is a pointer to a newly
+// allocated zero value of that type.
+func new(Type) *Type
+
+// The complex built-in function constructs a complex value from two
+// floating-point values. The real and imaginary parts must be of the same
+// size, either float32 or float64 (or assignable to them), and the return
+// value will be the corresponding complex type (complex64 for float32,
+// complex128 for float64).
+func complex(r, i FloatType) ComplexType
+
+// The real built-in function returns the real part of the complex number c.
+// The return value will be floating point type corresponding to the type of c.
+func real(c ComplexType) FloatType
+
+// The imaginary built-in function returns the imaginary part of the complex
+// number c. The return value will be floating point type corresponding to
+// the type of c.
+func imag(c ComplexType) FloatType
+
+// The close built-in function closes a channel, which must be either
+// bidirectional or send-only. It should be executed only by the sender,
+// never the receiver, and has the effect of shutting down the channel after
+// the last sent value is received. After the last value has been received
+// from a closed channel c, any receive from c will succeed without
+// blocking, returning the zero value for the channel element. The form
+// x, ok := <-c
+// will also set ok to false for a closed channel.
+func close(c chan<- Type)
+
+// The panic built-in function stops normal execution of the current
+// goroutine. When a function F calls panic, normal execution of F stops
+// immediately. Any functions whose execution was deferred by F are run in
+// the usual way, and then F returns to its caller. To the caller G, the
+// invocation of F then behaves like a call to panic, terminating G's
+// execution and running any deferred functions. This continues until all
+// functions in the executing goroutine have stopped, in reverse order. At
+// that point, the program is terminated and the error condition is reported,
+// including the value of the argument to panic. This termination sequence
+// is called panicking and can be controlled by the built-in function
+// recover.
+func panic(v interface{})
+
+// The recover built-in function allows a program to manage behavior of a
+// panicking goroutine. Executing a call to recover inside a deferred
+// function (but not any function called by it) stops the panicking sequence
+// by restoring normal execution and retrieves the error value passed to the
+// call of panic. If recover is called outside the deferred function it will
+// not stop a panicking sequence. In this case, or when the goroutine is not
+// panicking, or if the argument supplied to panic was nil, recover returns
+// nil. Thus the return value from recover reports whether the goroutine is
+// panicking.
