    17  // SelectionKind describes the kind of a selector expression x.f
    18  // (excluding qualified identifiers).
    19  //
    20  // If x is a struct or *struct, a selector expression x.f may denote a
    21  // sequence of selection operations x.a.b.c.f. The SelectionKind
    22  // describes the kind of the final (explicit) operation; all the
    23  // previous (implicit) operations are always field selections.
    24  // Each element of Indices specifies an implicit field (a, b, c)
    25  // by its index in the struct type of the field selection operand.
    26  //
    27  // For a FieldVal operation, the final selection refers to the field
    28  // specified by Selection.Obj.
    29  //
    30  // For a MethodVal operation, the final selection refers to a method.
    31  // If the "pointerness" of the method's declared receiver does not
    32  // match that of the effective receiver after implicit field
    33  // selection, then an & or * operation is implicitly applied to the
    34  // receiver variable or value.
    35  // So, x.f denotes (&x.a.b.c).f when f requires a pointer receiver but
    36  // x.a.b.c is a non-pointer variable; and it denotes (*x.a.b.c).f when
    37  // f requires a non-pointer receiver but x.a.b.c is a pointer value.
    38  //
    39  // All pointer indirections, whether due to implicit or explicit field
    40  // selections or * operations inserted for "pointerness", panic if
    41  // applied to a nil pointer, so a method call x.f() may panic even
    42  // before the function call.
    43  //
    44  // By contrast, a MethodExpr operation T.f is essentially equivalent
    45  // to a function literal of the form:
    46  //
    47  //	func(x T, args) (results) { return x.f(args) }
    48  //
    49  // Consequently, any implicit field selections and * operations
    50  // inserted for "pointerness" are not evaluated until the function is
    51  // called, so a T.f or (*T).f expression never panics.
