Some times you need to have a Time with value set to zero to be entered at columns where the constraint 'not null' is set.

Does a time.Time{} literal not meet this need?

More information than a single sentence is needed to effectively understand and address your concerns. This proposal doesn't really explain what you're trying to accomplish, what you've already tried, why those workarounds are unacceptable, how common this issue is, etc.

FYI - This is already documented -

The zero value of type Time is January 1, year 1, 00:00:00.000000000 UTC. As this time is unlikely to come up in practice, the IsZero method gives a simple way of detecting a time that has not been initialized explicitly.
