  That's real funny. Remember https://twitter.com/_rsc/status/1022589123482267650 ?

  > If we just put 'go dep' as the hook to current draft dep, then users would need to run things like 'go dep ensure' and so on, and those would be the first ever go sub-sub-commands. That feels not quite right to me.

  “go mod why” sounds shockingly close to “Oh god why”. I’d assume this is intentional, but it still strikes me as odd.

  go mod why generics

  (main module does not need package generics)
