FAQ
I ran across this behavior while working with HTML templates; I have a
struct where one of its methods returns a special value if the receiver is
nil. This seems to be ok in templates unless the receiver is inside a
struct. Example:
http://play.golang.org/p/kI69FMyOkL

I couldn't find this documented anywhere. I did find the code returning the
error; I assume it's because the template package uses reflection under the
hood?

    At this line
    https://code.google.com/p/go/source/browse/src/pkg/text/template/exec.go?name=release#462,
    the reflection based code take a pointer to the field even if the field
    contains a pointer already. So I think it's trying to find a method Name()
    on the type (**Inner) instead of just (*Inner). I'd suggest opening a bug
    against the template package.

    By the way, it actually works if o1 is an Outer value rather than a pointer
    (*Outer). That's because it can't take a pointer to the pointer in that
    case:
