That makes sense. Thinking it over, I'm wondering what would be required for the compiler to recognize synonyms of the form 'type Foo Bar' and allow passing a Foo for an argument of type Bar. The compiler knows the expected type of each function argument so it seems as if checking to see if a passed argument is a simple synonym for the expected type and doing a coercion doesn't seem like a big task. Note that this is different than asking for, say, numeric conversion from int to float64 because those types are not synonyms. I actually like the fact that Go forces you to explicitly convert numeric types.
