use the gob encoding, an efficient, robust, self-describing binary
protocol. A fact type may implement the GobEncoder/GobDecoder interfaces
if the default encoding is unsuitable. Facts should be stateless.
+Because serialized facts may appear within build outputs, the gob encoding
+of a fact must be deterministic, to avoid spurious cache misses in
+build systems that use content-addressable caches.
The Pass type has functions to import and export facts,
associated either with an object or with a package:
