<p>
The Go 1.18 compiler now reports an overflow when passing a rune constant expression
such as <code>'1' << 32</code> as an argument to the predeclared functions
<code>print</code> and <code>println</code>, consistent with the behavior of
user-defined functions. Before Go 1.18, the compiler did not report an error
in such cases but silently accepted such constant arguments if they fit into an
<code>int64</code>. As a result of this change, (possibly incorrect) programs
may not compile anymore. The necessary fix is straightforward: fix the program if it
was in fact incorrect, or explicitly convert the offending argument to the correct type.
Since <code>go vet</code> always pointed out this error, the number of affected
programs is likely very small.
