Could you just create well-named functions which call LibraryFunction() internally rather than relying on the caller to specify 1 or more default arguments?

Yeah. It's funny I'm currently working on two Go libraries one uses the convention you listed [1] and the other [2] uses nil pointers.

[1]: https://github.com/b3ntly/go-sms/blob/master/client.go

[2]: https://github.com/b3ntly/mLock/blob/master/lock.go

Disclaimer: Both libraries are in the pre-alpha stages and are extremely light on tests and/or broken.
