+// Executable returns the path name for the executable that started
+// the current process. There is no guarantee that the path is still
+// pointing to the correct executable. If a symlink was used to start
+// the process, depending on the operating system, the result might
+// be the symlink or the path it pointed to. If a stable result is
+// needed, path/filepath.EvalSymlinks might help.
+//
+// Executable returns an absolute path unless an error occurred.
+//
+// The main use case is finding resources located relative to an
