Comment 2:

i think fixing this will change behavior of existing program (programs that don't
use comma ok form or range channel form to receive from channels)
The docs for it says:
Stop turns off a ticker. After Stop, no more ticks will be sent.
if we close the channel, i think it is almost equivalent to sending a new (zero) tick.
On the other hand, if we don't close the channel, this means uncollectable
garbage (if the user isn't using another form to notify tick's receiver goroutine,
but that will be rare).
FYI, we have a test in tick_test that verify after Stop(), we won't receive anything
from C.
