    encoding/gob: document the extra byte after a singleton · 67a46cc1
    Rob Pike authored
    This paragraph has been added, as the notion was missing from the
    documentation.
    
    If a value is passed to Encode and the type is not a struct (or pointer to struct,
    etc.), for simplicity of processing it is represented as a struct of one field.
    The only visible effect of this is to encode a zero byte after the value, just as
    after the last field of an encoded struct, so that the decode algorithm knows when
    the top-level value is complete.
    
    Fixes #16978
