reflect: Value.TryRecv is ambiguous #7078
Description
The signature and docs are:
// TryRecv attempts to receive a value from the channel v but will not block.
// It panics if v's Kind is not Chan.
// If the receive cannot finish without blocking, x is the zero Value.
// The boolean ok is true if the value x corresponds to a send
// on the channel, false if it is a zero value received because the channel is closed.
func (v Value) TryRecv() (x Value, ok bool) {
The problem is that there are actually 3 possible outcomes:
1. receive a sent value
2. the chan is closed
3. neither of above (nonblocking return)
At least we need to update docs to describe what is returned in case 3.
A bigger issue is that the signature does not allow to distinguish between all 3 cases.
