vim-colorful-go is an addendum to vim-go's syntax highlighting. This plugin assumes you have vim-go installed and is untested outside that assumption.

Mostly, this plugin highlights non-native types when appropriate. It assumes
formatting matches the output of gofmt.
vim-colorful-go also uses the same highlighting option flags as vim-go.
Some things that are now highlighted:
- types in
type (...)blocks - type declarations in structs
- types in function parameters
- types in function returns
- literal struct fields
- ..probably more I can't remember
