What did you do?

I ran this program

package main

type URL struct {
	URL  string
	NSFW bool
	ID   string
}

func main() {
	_ = &URL{
		Id: "foo",
	}
}

What did you see happen?

I got back this error

./main.go:11:3: unknown field 'Id' in struct literal of type URL

What did you expect to see?

./main.go:11:3: unknown field 'Id' in struct literal of type URL (but does have ID)

which was in Go1.17 and a nicer user experience that's prescriptive

cc @griesemer as this seems to be types2 related

[gopherbot]

Change https://go.dev/cl/556235 mentions this issue: types2: add hint that there's a string-folded equivalent struct field

This was fixed by CL 560055.
