// Value is the reflection interface to a Go value.
//
// Not all methods apply to all kinds of values.  Restrictions,
// if any, are noted in the documentation for each method.
// Use the Kind method to find out the kind of value before
// calling kind-specific methods.  Calling a method
// inappropriate to the kind of type causes a run time panic.
//
// The zero Value represents no value.
// Its IsValid method returns false, its Kind method returns Invalid,
// its String method returns "<invalid Value>", and all other methods panic.
// Most functions and methods never return an invalid value.
// If one does, its documentation states the conditions explicitly.
//
// A Value can be used concurrently by multiple goroutines provided that
// the underlying Go value can be used concurrently for the equivalent
// direct operations.
//
// Using == on two Values does not compare the underlying values
// they represent, but rather the contents of the Value structs.
// To compare two Values, compare the results of the Interface method.

	//	- flagIndir: val holds a pointer to the data
	//	- flagAddr: v.CanAddr is true (implies flagIndir)
	//	- flagMethod: v is a method value.
	// The next five bits give the Kind of the value.
	// This repeats typ.Kind() except for method values.
	// The remaining 23+ bits give a method number for method values.
