• example of invalid receiver type:

type MyStruct struct {
	value int
}
type MyStructAlias = MyStruct
func (s MyStructAlias) doSomething() { // ...do something }
func (i int) doSomething() { // ...do something }

• these two functions won’t work:
  • alias can NOT be function receiver
  • primitive type (pre-defined type) can NOT be function receiver
