 Within a composite literal of array, slice, or map type <code>T</code>,
 elements that are themselves composite literals may elide the respective
 literal type if it is identical to the element type of <code>T</code>.
+Similarly, elements that are addresses of composite literals may elide
+the <code>&T</code> when the the element type is <code>*T</code>.
+The same elisions may be applied to field values within a struct literal,
+but only if the value has a field name key.
