// Are you expect this compilable?
func (s AwesomeSlice[nil]) AwesomeMethod1() nil {
	var panic nil
	return panic
}

What did you expect to see?

Compile errors

What did you see instead?

In Go nil is not a keyword. It is a predeclared identifier (https://go.dev/ref/spec#Predeclared_identifiers). Code is permitted to shadow the predeclared identifiers, and that is what is happening here.

Closing because this is not a bug. In general we suggest asking questions on a forum; see https://go.dev/wiki/Questions. Thanks.
