Dysfunctional Options Pattern in Go

What are the downsides of just adding new methods on the `Config` structure?

    func (c *Config) WithFizz(...) {...}

    func (c *Config) WithBazz(...) {...}

Isn't it essentially doing exactly that? The only difference is that it returns a pointer to the struct from each method. The advantange of doing that is it allows you to compose it as such `WithFizz(...).WithBazz(...)`.

If you don't need the composition, you can just add the methods as above and call it a day.
