I have to always add wildcards between func and the function name, because I can never know how the other developer has decided to specify the name of the receiver. This will always be a problem as far as grepping with primitive tools that don't parse the language.

FYI, many people use thin wrappers like this, it's still a primitive tool that doesn't parse the language, but it can handle that problem: https://jumpshare.com/s/zMENBSr2LwwauJVjo1wS (GIF)

On machines where I control the tooling, this is not an issue. But I can’t take my config to my colleagues machine.

If only AFS had succeeded. What would a modern version of this look like?
