i''ve been idly asking two questions "how do i handle 'any' in golang" and "how do i handle something like json.RawMessage"

i ended up doing something nominative, where types on the wire have names, so 'any' is easy but 'raw message' means carrying around type headers

only to then bump into "how do you embed things with a name clash" or "how do you deal with anonymous types" and "what about unknown types" and i've started to question all my choices
