[go-nuts] struct initialization

[DrGo]

Given this declaration
type globalOptions struct {
    ...
    ccv             *ccvxml.CCV
    funcMap         template.FuncMap
}

Why this does not compile

//Initialize template functions
func newGlobalOptions() *globalOptions {
    g := globalOptions{
        ccv:     ccvxml.New(),
        funcMap: template.FuncMap{"List": g.ccv.List}, 
//List: shortcut for ccv.List
    }
    return &g
}


Whereas this compiles
func newGlobalOptions() *globalOptions {
    g := globalOptions{
        ccv: ccvxml.New(),
    }
    g.funcMap = template.FuncMap{"List": g.ccv.List} 
//List: shortcut for ccv.List
    return &g
}


Any cleaner way of achieving what I want which is to initialize two members 
of a struct referencing the first in the second member initialization?

Cheers,
