Review comment:
       I'm largely basing it on the Java approach which has the output context 
object, rather than the python one.
   
   Generally users will need to know the arbitrary emitters, for more complex 
DoFns. The simple return case is a convenience but 1:1 is incredibly limiting. 
If users don't find it, they won't hurt themselves by not knowing it.
   
   The section is outputting multiple PCollections, not multiple elements 
within a PCollection. 
   
   Similarly, that's why I didn't introduce it using a functional DoFn. It 
leads to users assuming closures can work for configuration, which can't work 
in Go at the moment. Structural DoFns are not the most convenient, but they are 
the most versatile. They prevent errors like closure functions, which are far 
harder to debug when they sometimes work and fail otherwise.
