-// go-marshal generates additional functions for a type based on additional
-// clauses to the +marshal directive. They are documented below.
-//
-// Slice API
-// =========
-//
-// Adding a "slice" clause to the +marshal directive for structs or newtypes on
-// primitives like this:
-//
-// // +marshal slice:FooSlice
-// type Foo struct { ... }
-//
-// Generates four additional functions for marshalling slices of Foos like this:
-//
-// // MarshalUnsafeFooSlice is like Foo.MarshalUnsafe, buf for a []Foo. It
-// // might be more efficient that repeatedly calling Foo.MarshalUnsafe
-// // over a []Foo in a loop if the type is Packed.
-// // Preconditions: dst must be at least len(src)*Foo.SizeBytes() in length.
-// func MarshalUnsafeFooSlice(src []Foo, dst []byte) (int, error) { ... }
-//
-// // UnmarshalUnsafeFooSlice is like Foo.UnmarshalUnsafe, buf for a []Foo. It
-// // might be more efficient that repeatedly calling Foo.UnmarshalUnsafe
-// // over a []Foo in a loop if the type is Packed.
-// // Preconditions: src must be at least len(dst)*Foo.SizeBytes() in length.
-// func UnmarshalUnsafeFooSlice(dst []Foo, src []byte) (int, error) { ... }
-//
-// // CopyFooSliceIn copies in a slice of Foo objects from the task's memory.
-// func CopyFooSliceIn(task marshal.Task, addr usermem.Addr, dst []Foo) (int, error) { ... }
-//
-// // CopyFooSliceIn copies out a slice of Foo objects to the task's memory.
-// func CopyFooSliceOut(task marshal.Task, addr usermem.Addr, src []Foo) (int, error) { ... }
-//
-// The name of the functions are of the format "Copy%sIn" and "Copy%sOut", where
-// %s is the first argument to the slice clause. This directive is not supported
-// for newtypes on arrays.
-//
-// The slice clause also takes an optional second argument, which must be the
-// value "inner":
-//
-// // +marshal slice:Int32Slice:inner
-// type Int32 int32
-//
-// This is only valid on newtypes on primitives, and causes the generated
-// functions to accept slices of the inner type instead:
-//
-// func CopyInt32SliceIn(task marshal.Task, addr usermem.Addr, dst []int32) (int, error) { ... }
-//
-// Without "inner", they would instead be:
-//
-// func CopyInt32SliceIn(task marshal.Task, addr usermem.Addr, dst []Int32) (int, error) { ... }
-//
-// This may help avoid a cast depending on how the generated functions are used.
