1. What version of Go are you using (go version)?
   go version go1.6 darwin/amd64
2. What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?
   GOARCH="amd64"
   GOOS="darwin"
3. What did you do?
   (Use play.golang.org to provide a runnable example, if possible.)
   Read https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/x509/#CreateCertificateRequest
4. What did you expect to see?
   "CreateCertificateRequest creates a new certificate request based on a template."
5. What did you see instead?
   "CreateCertificateRequest creates a new certificate based on a template."

This was really confusing for a minute because there is currently no exposed function in x509 that creates a certificate from a request, but that sentence implies that's what CreateCertificateRequest does, even though the name of the function makes it sort of obvious that's not what it does.
