Append Documentation Out of Date

Technical Discussion
1

The append documentation on go.dev is out of date as it states:

where T is a placeholder for any given type. You can’t actually write a function in Go where the type T is determined by the caller. That’s why append is built in: it needs support from the compiler.

This is no longer true with the release of 1.18. Link to docs here: Effective Go - The Go Programming Language

Hi, Jordan,

We’re not officially associated with the go.dev site. I think you want to submit an issue here: Issues · golang/go · GitHub for that.
