"[]string(nil)" is more verbose than "nil".

  Seriously? That's your problem with this construct that otherwise does exactly what you asked for?

    It is easy for compilers to deduce the type of the nil in "append(nil, data[:2]...)".

      Sure, and it might just in a future version of the spec if there isn't a good reasoning for not doing that. Doesn't mean that "it's more characters!" isn't still a really silly complaint.
