You can't take the address of a function call. The Go specification
has further explanation of what you can take the address of.
https://golang.org/ref/spec#Address_operators

The reason you can't take the address of a function call is that it's
ambiguous as to what memory location you're getting the address of. By
not having this as a feature there doesn't need to be a rule to
disambiguate that.
