- Provide golang(API) = 1.9, so that this symbol can be required
and provided, as preferred one, by the unversioned go package.

mm. This packages is not itself providing golang(API) = 1.9 . Why do we need this?
In the past, we had golang(API) provided by 'go' and 'go' (unversioned) set a preferred for anything requiring a golang(API) >= FOO;
with go no longer having any provides, stuff all false to an unresolvable, as any of the go1.x provides golang(API);
As a workaround, I changed the Prefers in prjconf to go1.9, but that's bad, as it is a moving target.
Adding the golang(API) here into go will make the Prefer be usable again and it does not 'break', since go requires go1.9; so even though go does not provide golang(API) explicitly by itself, the presence of go (unversion) guarantees we pull in a package with golang(API) = short_version.
Making any sense? :)
so it's my understanding that there is no interest in this fix?
