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).
