// Package gcimporter provides various functions for reading
// gc-generated object files that can be used to implement the
// Importer interface defined by the Go 1.5 standard library package.
//
// The encoding is deterministic: if the encoder is applied twice to
// the same types.Package data structure, both encodings are equal.
// This property may be important to avoid spurious changes in
// applications such as build systems.
//
// However, the encoder is not necessarily idempotent. Importing an
// exported package may yield a types.Package that, while it
// represents the same set of Go types as the original, may differ in
// the details of its internal representation. Because of these
// differences, re-encoding the imported package may yield a
// different, but equally valid, encoding of the package.
