The Func type has allowed calling the Func.Name method on a nil pointer since Go1.2, where it returned an empty string. A regression caused by CL/37331 caused this behavior to change. This breaks code that lazily does runtime.FuncForPC(myPtr).Name() without first checking that myPtr is actually non-nil.
