// BUG(rsc): Mapping between XML elements and data structures is inherently flawed:
// an XML element is an order-dependent collection of anonymous
// values, while a data structure is an order-independent collection
// of named values.
// See package json for a textual representation more suitable
// to data structures.
// Unmarshal parses an XML element from r and uses the
// reflect library to fill in an arbitrary struct, slice, or string
// pointed at by val. Well-formed data that does not fit
// into val is discarded.
//
// For example, given these definitions:
//
// type Email struct {
// Where string "attr";
// Addr string;
// }
//
// type Result struct {
// XMLName xml.Name "result";
// Name string;
// Phone string;
// Email []Email;
// }
//
// var result = Result{ "name", "phone", nil }
//
// unmarshalling the XML input
//
//
//
// gre@example.com
//
//
// gre@work.com
//
// Grace R. Emlin
// 123 Main Street
//
//
// via Unmarshal(r, &result) is equivalent to assigning
//
// r = Result{
// xml.Name{"", "result"},
// "Grace R. Emlin", // name
// "phone", // no phone given
// []Email{
// Email{ "home", "gre@example.com" },
// Email{ "work", "gre@work.com" }
// }
// }
//
// Note that the field r.Phone has not been modified and
// that the XML
element was discarded.
//
// Because Unmarshal uses the reflect package, it can only
// assign to upper case fields. Unmarshal uses a case-insensitive
// comparison to match XML element names to struct field names.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to a struct using the following rules:
//
// * If the struct has a field named XMLName of type xml.Name,
// Unmarshal records the element name in that field.
//
// * If the XMLName field has an associated tag string of the form
// "tag" or "namespace-URL tag", the XML element must have
// the given tag (and, optionally, name space) or else Unmarshal
// returns an error.
//
// * If the XML element has an attribute whose name matches a
// struct field of type string with tag "attr", Unmarshal records
// the attribute value in that field.
//
// * If the XML element contains character data, that data is
// accumulated in the first struct field that has tag "chardata".
// The struct field may have type []byte or string.
// If there is no such field, the character data is discarded.
//
// * If the XML element contains a sub-element whose name
// matches a struct field whose tag is neither "attr" nor "chardata",
// Unmarshal maps the sub-element to that struct field.
// Otherwise, if the struct has a field named Any, unmarshal
// maps the sub-element to that struct field.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to a string or []byte by saving the
// concatenation of that elements character data in the string or []byte.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to a slice by extending the length
// of the slice and mapping the element to the newly created value.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to a bool by setting the bool to true.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to an xml.Name by recording the
// element name.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to a pointer by setting the pointer
// to a freshly allocated value and then mapping the element to that value.
