I don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying that if you take
the code from Dave Cheney's article, and change the receiver for the
version method from value to pointer:
func (*RPC) version() int {
that there is still a race in his code? Or are you saying that with
that change you could add code where the act of calling a method is
inherently a race? If the latter, can you give an example?
