I have Go code that receives a reflection value and needs to work with it as a generic. To convert the parameter, I’ve gotten the following to work. Is there a more simple way to achieve the goal?

func toValue[T any](v reflect.Value) T {
    v = v.Convert(reflect.TypeFor[T]())
    var src any
    reflect.ValueOf(&src).Elem().Set(v)

    var dest T
    reflect.ValueOf(&dest).Elem().Set(reflect.ValueOf(src))
    return dest
}

I’m using this in a general purpose parser that lets the client use generics to produce typed output.
