switch g := f.(type) {
case int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint, uint8, uint16, uint32,
uint64, float32, float64:
//g is of type interface{}
}
"the expression in the TypeSwitchGuard" is 'f' which is of type
interface{} in this case. Thus 'g' has the type interface{} within the
case.
The comparison 'g == 0' is false because 'g' contains a float64 and 0
is an int.
