Question: how to make a generic function which takes a type T where the 
constraint is "*T satisfies a given interface"?

func (m *MyMap[KT, VT]) init() {
        m.data = make(map[KT]VT)
}

type Initializer interface {
init()
}

func mynew[T Initializer]() *T {
t := new(T)
t.init()
return t
}

/* or:
func mynew[T Initializer]() *T {
var t T
t.init()
return &t
}
*/

func main() {
m := mynew[MyMap[string, int]]()
}

gives: 

type checking failed for main prog.go2:34:13: MyMap[string, int] does not 
satisfy Initializer: wrong method signature
        got func (*MyMap[KT, VT]).init()
        want func (Initializer).init()
