What does 'go version' print?
go version devel +08dcdcdb757b Thu Mar 13 14:04:29 2014 -0700 linux/amd64

What steps reproduce the problem?
1. http://play.golang.org/p/QWn904819Y

What happened?
A tricky case with Finalizers and closures can be created where the Finalizer will not
run due to the cyclic structure created (not a bug). Go vet does not complain about suck
tricky cases which could be useful.

What should have happened instead?
Go vet should warn of such tricky cases.

Comment 1:

I don't really see how this could be done in a tool like vet, but I'd be happy to hear
suggestions.

Labels changed: added repo-tools, release-none.
