+// The reflect package implements run-time reflection, allowing a program to
+// manipulate objects with arbitrary types.  The typical use is to take a
+// value with static type interface{} and extract its dynamic type
+// information by calling Typeof(), which returns an object with interface
+// type Type.  That contains a pointer to a struct of type *StructType,
+// *IntType, etc. representing the details of the underlying type.  A type
+// switch or type assertion can reveal which.
+//
+// A call to NewValue creates a Value representing the run-time data; it
+// contains a *StructValue, *IntValue, etc.  MakeZero takes a Type and
+// returns a Value representing a zero value for that type.
