+Go Programming Language
+=========================
+
+defer
+---------
+``defer`` pushes a function call on to a local stack to be executed when the
+enclosing function returns (either normally or due to a panic). The arguments
+are evaluated at the time/position of the defer call, not when the defered
+function itself is called (this is intuitive). 
+
+The golang documentation gives the examples of closing file handles and
+printing HTML footers (defer right after printing the header).
