In the patch I just committed, I overlooked that a pointer to a named
interface type has no methods, and therefore that you can not use such a
type with a method expression. This patch corrects that oversight. To
make the error more clear, I added a '*' to the error output for a
pointer type. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline.
