+// Package checkescape allows recursive escape analysis for hot paths.
+//
+// The analysis tracks multiple types of escapes, in two categories. First,
+// 'hard' escapes are explicit allocations. Second, 'soft' escapes are
+// interface dispatches or dynamic function dispatches; these don't necessarily
+// escape but they *may* escape. The analysis is capable of making assertions
+// recursively: soft escapes cannot be analyzed in this way, and therefore
+// count as escapes for recursive purposes.
+//
+// The different types of escapes are as follows, with the category in
+// parentheses:
+//
+// heap: A direct allocation is made on the heap (hard).
+// builtin: A call is made to a built-in allocation function (hard).
+// stack: A stack split as part of a function preamble (soft).
+// interface: A call is made via an interface whicy *may* escape (soft).
+// dynamic: A dynamic function is dispatched which *may* escape (soft).
+//
+// To the use the package, annotate a function-level comment with either the
+// line "// +checkescape" or "// +checkescape:OPTION[,OPTION]". In the second
+// case, the OPTION field is either a type above, or one of:
+//
+// local: Escape analysis is limited to local hard escapes only.
+// all: All the escapes are included.
+// hard: All hard escapes are included.
+//
+// If the "// +checkescape" annotation is provided, this is equivalent to
+// provided the local and hard options.
+//
+// Some examples of this syntax are:
+//
+// +checkescape:all - Analyzes for all escapes in this function and all calls.
+// +checkescape:local - Analyzes only for default local hard escapes.
+// +checkescape:heap - Only analyzes for heap escapes.
+// +checkescape:interface,dynamic - Only checks for dynamic calls and interface calls.
+// +checkescape - Does the same as +checkescape:local,hard.
+//
+// Note that all of the above can be inverted by using +mustescape. The
+// +checkescape keyword will ensure failure if the class of escape occurs,
+// whereas +mustescape will fail if the given class of escape does not occur.
+//
+// Local exemptions can be made by a comment of the form "// escapes: reason."
+// This must appear on the line of the escape and will also apply to callers of
+// the function as well (for non-local escape analysis).
