The points about iota are interesting. I always define the first constant as "unknown" when defining a set of iota-driven constants. That way the zero value is "unknown" so if I create a new struct with no initialiser it doesn't accidentally inherit a value I didn't mean it to have, and instead gets the "unknown" value.
It also doesn't touch on the other useful "system" funcs to include on a type (Scan, Value, Marshal, etc)
