Casting pointer-to-struct to pointer-to-field is fine, yes, but is it legal to cast pointer-to-pointer-to-struct to pointer-to-pointer-to-field? (I genuinely don't know the answer to this.) The former results in a new (temporary or otherwise) value with a new static static type, independent of the original, while the latter does not, and so is the interesting one. In any case, note that Go also has something a little similar, with its anonymous fields approach to composition. However, that's not still at all the main point: there's actually not that much difference between how C and Go behave with compiletime/runtime types.
