// Marshal returns the XML encoding of v.
//
// Marshal handles an array or slice by marshalling each of the elements.
// Marshal handles a pointer by marshalling the value it points at or, if the
// pointer is nil, by writing nothing.  Marshal handles an interface value by
// marshalling the value it contains or, if the interface value is nil, by
// writing nothing.  Marshal handles all other data by writing one or more XML
// elements containing the data.
//
// The name for the XML elements is taken from, in order of preference:
//     - the tag on the XMLName field, if the data is a struct
//     - the value of the XMLName field of type xml.Name
//     - the tag of the struct field used to obtain the data
//     - the name of the struct field used to obtain the data
//     - the name of the marshalled type
//
// The XML element for a struct contains marshalled elements for each of the
// exported fields of the struct, with these exceptions:
//     - the XMLName field, described above, is omitted.
//     - a field with tag "-" is omitted.
//     - a field with tag "name,attr" becomes an attribute with
//       the given name in the XML element.
//     - a field with tag ",attr" becomes an attribute with the
//       field name in the XML element.
//     - a field with tag ",chardata" is written as character data,
//       not as an XML element.
//     - a field with tag ",innerxml" is written verbatim, not subject
//       to the usual marshalling procedure.
//     - a field with tag ",comment" is written as an XML comment, not
//       subject to the usual marshalling procedure. It must not contain
//       the "--" string within it.
//     - a field with a tag including the "omitempty" option is omitted
//       if the field value is empty. The empty values are false, 0, any
//       nil pointer or interface value, and any array, slice, map, or
//       string of length zero.
//     - an anonymous struct field is handled as if the fields of its
//       value were part of the outer struct.
//
// If a field uses a tag "a>b>c", then the element c will be nested inside
// parent elements a and b.  Fields that appear next to each other that name
// the same parent will be enclosed in one XML element.
//
// See MarshalIndent for an example.
