Description

I looked through the installer.js script and it looked to me like only tags from https://github.com/golang/go/tags are supported as valid versions to install.

I would imagine that some users would also want to test their Go programs against tip to ensure that upcoming language changes/additions don't break.

Go even provides a way to install tip via https://godoc.org/golang.org/dl/gotip (once you have a single Go version installed that is).

What do you think?
