- restore and rework cmd/vet/doc.go, which was clobbered during the vet-lite switch. - document go vet -vettool=prog flag and how to run an alternative checker. - make 'go vet -help' show how to list vet tool's flags. Example: $ go vet -help usage: go vet [-n] [-x] [-vettool prog] [build flags] [vet flags] [packages] Run 'go help vet' for details. Run 'go tool vet help' for the vet tool's flags. $ go vet -vettool=~/bin/myvet -help usage: go vet [-n] [-x] [-vettool prog] [build flags] [vet flags] [packages] Run 'go help vet' for details. Run '~/bin/myvet help' for the vet tool's flags.

The rearrangement of the vet tool, while a great step forward, seems to have lost the documentation of vet flags.
go tool vet help
does list available flags. But that didn't work in 1.11. And I only got there by knowing aboutgo tool vet
, which is not mentioned by any of the first places to look.CC @alandonovan
