In the file you posted, line 7 is an empty line. The program also seems to run fine on Linux.

The above program works fine on Windows as well. Built with go1.11.2 windows/amd64.

I must be going crazy.
I'm pretty sure I double-checked before issuing bug report.

But now I copied and pasted code and it ran successfully.

A possible explanation for original panic:

The original test code was pasted from the web and modified
It's possible there were some unruly characters lingering in the file.
This might explain the "empty line 7" which @mvdan spotted.

Anyway, all is good now.
Sincere apologies for inconveniencing you and thanks for assistance
