// Objects

// An Object describes a named language entity such as a package,
// constant, type, variable, function (incl. methods), or label.
//
// The Data fields contains object-specific data:
//
//	Kind    Data type         Data value
//	Pkg     *Scope            package scope
//	Con     int               iota for the respective declaration
//
// Deprecated: The relationship between Idents and Objects cannot be
// correctly computed without type information. For example, the
// expression T{K: 0} may denote a struct, map, slice, or array
// literal, depending on the type of T. If T is a struct, then K
// refers to a field of T, whereas for the other types it refers to a
// value in the environment.
//
// New programs should set the [parser.SkipObjectResolution] parser
// flag to disable syntactic object resolution (which also saves CPU
// and memory), and instead use the type checker [go/types] if object
// resolution is desired. See the Defs, Uses, and Implicits fields of
// the [types.Info] struct for details.
