// GoVersion reports the minor version number of the highest release
// tag built into the go command on the PATH.
//
// Note that this may be higher than the version of the go tool used
// to build this application, and thus the versions of the standard
// go/{scanner,parser,ast,types} packages that are linked into it.
// In that case, callers should either downgrade to the version of
// go used to build the application, or report an error that the
// application is too old to use the go command on the PATH.

// GoVersionOutput returns the complete output of the go version command.

// ParseGoVersionOutput extracts the Go version string
// from the output of the "go version" command.
// Given an unrecognized form, it returns an empty string.
