+// even if f has a different value in each invocation. A new instance of
+// Once is required for each function to execute.
+//
+// Do is intended for initialization that must be run exactly once. Since f
+// is niladic, it may be necessary to use a function literal to capture the
+// arguments to a function to be invoked by Do:

+// config.once.Do(func() { config.init(filename) })
+//
+// Because no call to Do returns until the one call to f returns, if f causes
+// Do to be called, it will deadlock.
