No. Because that would be much easier and was the only obvious answer.
They took a shortcut, hoped nobody noticed and later when people started complaining about this obvious omission in a modern language, tried to weasel their way out of with some “complexity” bullshit and how “people wouldn’t understand”.
So I can fault them for both not including it and then later being disenginious about why.
For this glaring omission the golang designers deserve nothing but ridicule.
