Thanks a lot, i seem to have been a bit fixated on there already being more direct symmetry between print and scan.
anyway, i hacked up something that is working as i wanted; https://play.golang.org/p/BZ437rSo5DU (when you think about it, a recursive solution was always going to need a buffer.) really i was most interested in getting a general way to make a fmt.Scanner work symmetrically to a fmt.Stringer when used hierarchically, so without messing with runes/tokens directly.
