In a composite literal expression like [1]int{0}, you can use info.TypeOf on the [1]int type literal subexpression to get the type [1]int.

However, if you use info.TypeOf on the [...]int subexpression of [...]int{0}, you get nil instead. I would expect that go/types should report that this [...]int means the type [1]int.

As a workaround, info.TypeOf does return the expected type when applied to the entire composite literal expression (i.e., [...]int{0}).
