Understand it, then run it

The analysis.Module type is a small struct that describes a Go module. Until now it only had a few fields, like the module path and version. A new change adds several more fields that are already present in the packages.Module type: GoMod, GoVersion, Dir, Main, Indirect, Replace, Time, and Error. These fields let you know where the module’s go.mod file lives, what Go version it uses, and other metadata that can help tools understand a project’s dependencies.
