That is already possible by exposing a `New` function and making the struct itself unexposed; are you suggesting syntax should be added to provide default values to struct fields? Because there is high resistance (which I agree with btw) to adding additional syntax and constructs to the language.

I thought Go didn't allow functions with default argument values either?
