Indeed. The concern here is unfounded. The original question was “why does it break?” and the answer is “because you used dangerous tools in a disallowed way.”
That answer was not acknowledged; the subject was changed to “how can I trust anything that uses dangerous tools?” This time the answer is “(1) because they have been used carefully and properly with careful test code, and (2) because the Go 1 compatibility promise is your guarantee.” Implicit in 1 and 2 is that there is no problem. The implementation is careful and visible things will not disappear or otherwise break valid code.
