Here is my use case:
https://godoc.org/github.com/rocketlaunchr/react#UnmarshalState
That function has an argument that accepts only a struct. I use the reflect
package to iterate over the structs fields (and also to check if it
actually is a struct). The function has notapplicability for non-structs.
Currently I have to notify the user via documentation that only a struct is
allowed since the type is officially an `interface{}`. This is very crude.
If there was a way to add a type constraint for only structs, then I don't
need to use documentation, notwithstanding the use of reflect package to
iterate over the struct fields.
