Re: Golang programs keeping references [gnu: go: Update default to 1.11.]

Hi Ludo!

OK, thanks for clarifying scanForReferences.

go-ipfs is fine indeed, but that's because you've just looked at the lucky
package!  go-ipfs vendors all the Go dependencies, which is why there is no
extra input there and go-ipfs closure size is optimal.

Now try with gx, demlo or syncthing: all of them had zero Go inputs in their
closure with go-1.9.  Now they have hundreds with go-1.11 :(
