In any case, explaining these things in this response is good, but
eventually we need to make sure that the readers of the resulting

refer to external documentation.

It might also be worthwhile -- for the non-Go readers -- for the
commit message to mention that this addition of a `go.mod` file does
not hinder those stuck with old pre-module versions of Go (it doesn't
help them either, but that's less significant), thus this change does
not require them to update to a modern version of Go (i.e. we're not
raising the minimum required version).
