The only difference between `struct { T }` and `struct { T T }` is that in
the first case, T's fields and methods are embedded in the top level struct
as a purely compile-time, syntactic convenience. There is no difference in
memory layout, speed of execution, etc. Since unnamed types such as
[]string (which is a slice, not an array) cannot have methods, then there
would be little or no potential benefit to embedding them, even if it were
allowed.

Is is possible to have an anonymous field in a struct, which is an array?
type Foo struct {
[]string
}
fails with "syntax error: unexpected ["
Whereas
type Foo struct {
Thingy []string
}
works fine.
Thanks in advance.
