What version of Go are you using (
go version
)?1.7.4
What operating system and processor architecture are you using (

What did you do?
Try to figure out what the nines mean in the definition of Time.String() function
"2006-01-02 15:04:05.999999999 -0700 MST"
It says this layout string is passed to Time.Format(), but the comment of Time.Format() does not explain the "nines" style.
What did you expect to see?
A brief explanation of the "nines" style should be right after the explanation of the "zeros" style in the comment to Time.Format().
What did you see instead?
Only places that explain the "nines": Example of Time.Format(), which is lengthy and you have to navigate to the end of the example to see nines, and the comment to "Constants", which is far from Format() or String().
