Which is a big problem with the Go “interface” specification… But the de-facto standard is as I stated - if it implements the method it implements the interface. There is no requirement that the method/struct “be documented” to be an implementor - buyer beware!
We is also why you should never use method names that collide with “stdlib interfaces” unless you intend them to have the same semantics. > On May 12, 2019, at 8:58 PM, Dan Kortschak <d...@kortschak.io> wrote: > > This is not quite true.
