Suppose instead of `json:"s,string"` you had typed `json:"s,omitemptyy"` when you meant to type `json:"s,omitempty"`. Would you want to be told that you had an error in your struct tag? In general Go has a fail-fast philosophy to help prevent mistakes from persisting in a system unnoticed for a long time. It is this philosophy that warrants producing an error when the encoding/json package encounters an invalid json: struct tag.
