http://tip.golang.org/ref/spec#Arithmetic_operators
- could use better separation between integer and floating point operations
(specifically, div-zero)

http://tip.golang.org/ref/spec#Indexes
- in technical use (which is what we have here), the better word is "indices"

http://tip.golang.org/ref/spec#For_statements
- ordinary and range 'for' statement section are one huge piece - should have a
sub-section like for switch and type switch statements - or even make them separate
statements

Comment 1:

I went looking for Indexes vs Indices for unrelated reasons last
night, documenting something else. I think the tide is slowly turning
away from indices. It is true that
http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/index says that
indices occurs "especially in technical use" but I think that is
saying "if you see indices you're likely to be reading technical
material" not "if you're reading technical material you're likely to
see indices". Especially since we've already got the doc saying
Indexes and since Indexes matches when you're doing a text search for
Index, I would keep Indexes.

Comment 2:

"Indices" it is. The document is now consistent.
Other two issues are unresolved.

Organization of arithmetic ops is addressed by https://go-review.googlesource.com/13143 (and more to come).

Decided to leave section on For-statements as is.
