I'm honestly not even sure. I had this in mind from the beginning, but I may have initially had a different vaguer comment about it and edited, I'm not sure. I sometimes edit comments right after posting them and then don't leave a note like I did for the later edit of the *s, since I assume no one read them. If this happened, I apologize.

Either way, yes, I think we are mostly in agreement. I'm not actually a big fan of Go's minimalism, so I actually see the value of such constructs.
