Thing is, since keyed fields are almost always better, why were unkeyed fields
even allowed for struct literals? I see what you mean in your example, but I
think it would be simpler to only have unkeyed fields.
Was it a mistake or is there a even better reason?

Unkeyed can be good to remind future you that you've changed the signature
of a struct and are now not populating all the fields. That cuts both
ways, since it means you *have* to go to every place you've created a value
of that struct and update it with a new value... but it also means that if

Keyed fields are better than unkeyed fields since keyed fields are
covered by the Go1 compatibi
My bad. I should have specified that I meant struct literals.

Keys aren't always useful, e.g.,
var colors = [...]string{"red", "blue", "green", "yellow"}
I
Keyed fields seem to be always better than unkeyed fields in a composite
literal.
Under what circumstances would I want to use unkeyed fields?
