this is not a user-visible change. before, all interface values were struct Itype { Sigt *type; Sigi *inter; void *method[n]; } struct Iface { void *addr; Itype *itype; } the itype is basically a vtable, but it's unnecessary if the static type is interface{ }. for interface values with static type empty, the new representation is struct Eface { void *addr; Sigt *type; } this complicates the code somewhat, but it reduces the number of Itypes that have to be computed and cached, it opens up opportunities to avoid function calls in a few common cases, and it will make it possible to lay out interface{} values at compile time, which i think i'll need for the new reflection.
