I do not agree that this is because how the compiler works. A value receiver is equivalent to pass-by-value argument, that is:
rcp.version() is equivalent to: RPC.version(rpc) thus, creating the copy of the rpc variable. So, the compiler may choose to avoid the race by not copying it, or by inlining the version function, but according to the spec, it is passed by value, i.e., it is copied.
