For example, the result of this WriteTo method should be (int64, error), not error, to satisfy io.WriterTo: type myWriterTo struct{...} func (myWriterTo) WriteTo(w io.Writer) error { ... } This check ensures that each method whose name matches one of several well-known interface methods from the standard library has the correct signature for that interface.
