It seems obvious (to me) that the encoding.TextUnmarshaler interface could be implemented for time.Duration (it is implemented for time.Time, afterall).
The fact that it is not gives me pause... is there a good reason that the stdlib has not done this? What issues am I facing if I do this: https://go.dev/play/p/nHBfS7TJQtJ ``` // UnmarshalText implements the encoding.TextUnmarshaler interface. func (d *Duration) UnmarshalText(data []byte) error { val, err := time.ParseDuration(string(data)) *d = Duration(val) return err } ``` Cheers, Corin. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
