When you embed a type alias within a struct, the resulting struct type has a field of the alias's apparent name, but its run-time type descriptor uses the alias's original name. For example:

package main

import "fmt"
import "bytes"

type buffer => bytes.Buffer

type S struct {
        buffer
}

func main() {
        var s S
        _ = s.buffer
        // _ = s.Buffer // compile error: s has no field Buffer
        fmt.Printf("%#v\n", s) // "main.S{Buffer:bytes.Buffer{...}}"
}

This is potentially confusing to the reader, and I suspect it will break a number of analysis tools that assume the name in the syntax of the embedded field declaration is the same as the name of the field.

Something to think about.
