[go-nuts] Assignment of pointer values in a struct...

[Trig]

I posted this question the other day and don't see it (may have posted from 
another gmail account and it's still pending approval)... so here I am 
again.

Let's say I have something like below:
type (
   Person struct {
      FirstName *string
   }
)

Usually, I see something like the following when assigning:
fn := "John"
_ = Person{
  FirstName: &fn,
}

Would something like the following be alright and acceptable practice:
_ = Person{
  FirstName: pString("John")
}


func pString(content string) *string {
   return &content
}
