In detail:
  • Two slice types are identical if they have identical element types.
  • Two struct types are identical if they have the same sequence of fields, - and if corresponding fields have the same names and identical types. + and if corresponding fields have the same names, and identical types, + and identical tags. Two anonymous fields are considered to have the same name. Lower-case field names from different packages are always different.
