Is there any proposal in Go 2.0 to remove the promotion of methods on
embedded struct fields or do you think it's a good idea ? For example in
the code below if someone marshals `Pack`, only `Animal` is actually
marshalled. Cat field is skipped. If he wants to marshal Cat as well the
developer must write an additional wrapper method(MarshalJSON) on `Pack`
and any other struct that embeds `Animal`. This becomes an even bigger
issue if you create types dynamically (using reflect). Actually I believe
reflect.StructOf is actually broken because of this feature (i.e. it panics
if the embedded type has methods).
type Pack struct{
Animal
Cat Cat
}
func (a *Animal)MarshalJSON()([]byte, error){
// custom animal marshalling
}
