It would be nice if the encoding/gob package had some more examples as its usage is not
completely clear especially for new users. See eg:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/golang-nuts/fRixmVKLddY/discussion

Some specific things which I think are not obvious enough include a) when/where
Register( ) should be called, b) What the appropriate use of RegisterName() is, c) How
to implement GobEncoder/GobDecoder.

Also a package-level example of how it all fits together would also be helpful.

As you say, probably too late for 1.1, but I would second the request. For the time
being, I found

helpful.
