Hi Ian, I stumble upon this topic that is very interesting but I'm not 100% sure to fully understand what you meant when you said: "Checking for a struct field, embedded or not, can only be done using reflection. You can use a (much faster) type assertion to check for a method."
I know it's been a while, but could you provide a piece of code to illustrate a bit just for clarity?
