// NewImporter returns a new instance of the types.Importer interface
// that reads type information from export data files written by gc.
// The Importer also satisfies types.ImporterFrom.
//
// Export data files are located using "go build" workspace conventions
// and the build.Default context.
//
// Use this importer instead of go/importer.For("gc", ...) to avoid the
// version-skew problems described in the documentation of this package,
// or to control the FileSet or access the imports map populated during
// package loading.
//
// Deprecated: Use the higher-level API in golang.org/x/tools/go/packages,
// which is more efficient.
