If you are just trying to shallow copy a struct then I find this pointer usage
distasteful.

Far more readable would be

structname2 := structname

or (I wouldn't do this)

func copyStructName(data structname) structname {
        return data
}

Caveat: I'm fairly new to go (< 2 years) and dislike a lot of idiomatic code.

e.g. Some Go books say, for clarity I have written this like this but you will
often see it written like this.

Personally I will use the clearer one, not the shorter one, every time??
