Module weirdness in playground

[Brian Candler]

This used to work:

https://play.golang.org/p/YQoAu1Iwkor

But now when I click on "Run", the import path of "example.com/myprog/foo" is removed, and it fails to compile.

Any clues as to what's going on?

I think the playground uses goimports.

Interesting.  But if I install and run goimports locally, it doesn't delete the import - it just rewrites it to assign the package name explicitly.  Maybe the playground has a different version of goimports?

$ ~/go/bin/goimports -d .
