Also it's the way Java is implemented.
I assume Go can also read type information from source files, otherwise
package circular dependencies would be impossible?
Java will pick up the type info from either the .class file or the .java
file.
The thing I thought was unique to Go's compiling/linking was the bypassing
of duplicated imports. i.e. If a imported b and c, and b imported c, then
compiling a would only link b, since c was included in b's object. They
claimed exponential-like speed-up doing this. (If memory of the Google
talk serves.)
