Go lint doesn't recognize type alias

[st0012]

In Go 1.9, you introduced type alias which allow us to write something like

type filename = string

But currently golint seems having trouble recognize this new syntax and will show:

vm/instruction.go:13:20: expected type, found '=' (and 1 more errors)

And the linter will stop its execution.

Have you fixed this yet? Or how can I fix it?

You have to build golint with Go 1.9 for it to understand Go 1.9 syntax.

@dominikh It works, thanks!
