Most of these files use a mix of spaces and tabs for indentation.
Please use tabs only.

Why is the brace (and possible following whitespace) optional?
Considering that the language demands that the brace be on the same
line, I'd think the brace should be mandatory.
I suppose you made whitespace after 'func' optional to be able to
recognize a method (which hasn't been gofmt'd):
func(x *X) name {
rather than the more typical:
func (x *X) name {
I wonder if it would make sense to tighten the expression to recognize
functions and methods as distinct cases:
function: mandatory whitespace following 'func'
method: optional whitespace but mandatory '(' following 'func'
Your current expression could accidentally match:
/*
Fish like to have
functors for lunch {
just like eels}.
*/
but, even the suggested tighter expression could "accidentally" match
example code in a comment block anyhow, so I guess it probably doesn't
matter much in practice.

Whitespace is required after 'type'. Good. The language doesn't
require '{' to be on the same line as 'struct' or 'interface', and
this expression makes it optional. Okay.
