[go-nuts] type assertion on interface{} accepted practice?

I see that interface{} is used in go's container/list https://golang.org/src/container/list/list.go In using this container am I expected to type assert the element's Value? And is this pattern of returning an interface{} and then "casting" it typically accepted in practice to avoid duplication
