Grouped global variable/constant initialization?

[Péter Szilágyi]

Hi,

  If I have a group of global variables, like: http://play.golang.org/p/xPcgNTzD_- , how can I initialize them inline without having an extra function call. I know it could be done with init(), but I'd rather say something like:

const/var config struct {

  Str = "abc"

  Num = 123

}

Is there a way I'm missing to specify the above?

Thanks,

  Peter

PS: Basically what I'm trying to implement is a trivial global configuration space to put all "hard coded" values so that I don't litter my whole project with them and then try ang figure out where I put one thing or another.

Ah, so *that's* where the = goes :))... thanks!

A hypothetical "inferred struct type" would seem useful in these areas (note: this code doesn't work)... http://play.golang.org/p/sapiYqaU5J
