Referencing a type from another package must specify what package it comes
from. Try:
var a *common.Any
Also, I would avoid using the term "alias" here. Type aliasing in go is
totally different from defining a new type, which is what you do here. Type
aliasing takes the form:
type T1 = T2
Type aliasing was only recently introduced to the language, and intended
for very specific cases. So I would avoid using it without fully
understanding the ramifications.
