The current static analysis that is being performed does not account for the more insidious examples. To get them all, something rather similar to Rust's lifetime checker needs to be written to perform escape analysis of references to range loop variables.

That is a rather more involved task than hacking on the procedure from go vet, which is all that I have done so far.
