Such conversions are discouraged because they 14 // return the UTF-8 representation of the Unicode code point x, and not a decimal 15 // string representation of x as one might expect. Furthermore, if x denotes an 16 // invalid code point, the conversion cannot be statically rejected. 17 // 18 // For conversions that intend on using the code point, consider replacing them 19 // with string(rune(x)). Otherwise, strconv.Itoa and its equivalents return the 20 // string representation of the value in the desired base. 21 package stringintconv 22
