Description:
How about including a short example package in the text.  Nothing elaborate, 
just enough to let the reader see what is meant

What kind of example?

Hope I have the capitalization and comments correct, but something like

package foobar

func foo() {
   //not exported, private method to the package
}

func Bar() {
   //exported, public method available outside the package
}

func foobar() {
   //required?????
}

Only foobar.Bar() is publicly available.

Then again, I'm only about one-third through the tour, and there doesn't
seem to be discussion about private vs. public, and maybe that's not a
distinction that has much importance in Go.  On the other hand, perhaps
I'll learn more in the "interface" section of the tour.
