+### IsNil
+
+Checks if a value is nil or if it's a reference type with a nil underlying value.

+// false
+
+var k struct{}
+IsNil(k)
+// false
+
+var i *int
+IsNil(i)
+// true
+
+var ifaceWithNilValue any = (*string)(nil)
+IsNil(ifaceWithNilValue)
+// true
+ifaceWithNilValue == nil
+// false
+```
