Impossible interface type assertion
Reports impossible interface-to-interface type assertions.
Checks for type assertions v.(T) and corresponding type-switch cases in which the static type V of v is the interface that cannot possibly implement the target interface T. This occurs when V and T contain methods with the same name but different signatures.
Example:
The Read method in v has a different signature than the Read method in io.Reader, so this assertion cannot succeed.
