My vote is for a type alias. Using a named type doesn't make any difference
for type parameter constraints, and I'd prefer it if "[]interface{}" and
"[]any" (or other types involving interface{}) weren't incompatible types.
"interface{}" is currently a nice universally understood type - I don't
think it's worth splitting it into two distinct types.
