Underlying is the identity function for all types except *types.Named (https://github.com/golang/example/tree/master/gotypes#named-types), so this won't get you what you want.
Instead what I think you're after is type asserting against the types.Type you have (https://github.com/golang/example/tree/master/gotypes#types): Type = *Basic | *Pointer | *Array | *Slice | *Map | *Chan | *Struct | *Tuple | *Signature | *Named | *Interface Then walking "inside" the respective type as required. For example, you'll probably want to dereference a *types.Pointer via Elem(), similarly for a slice. For a map you potentially have a more complex decision with two types!
