Thank you for once again proving the point which you keep missing: you have to give `go doc` a path to a module, which means you have to know where the symbol you’re looking up lives.

Which has nothing to do with the article, or my comments. The entire issue of the comment is that Eli has a symbol whose origin they don’t know. Where the symbol comes from is 75% of the question.

Of course if you want the documentation of a symbol whose full qualification you know `go doc` gives you that, that’s what I wrote above.

But it’s not TFA’s problem, and thus not the problem anyone’s trying to solve here.
