I had a similar requirement as in issue #1454 and discussion #1460 a while a go and implemented the following solution.

This is likely not of the necessary quality for merging, but I would still like to open this PR as a discussion about the implementation. If I missed anything obvious that could cause problems down the line, I will certainly adjust as necessary.

Thanks for this - will try and look at it once the backlog of items for v2.4.0 are down!

FYI this would also link in nicely with #1561 (as two alternative ways)

Kind of from the side, but I personally would like something similar to this. More specifically, I would LOVE to have a "pointers-for-values-with-defaults" such that I can set it to "false" (or something like that). Scattering the x-go-type-skip-optional-pointer is very tedious for some of my optonal types that have defaults. I use kin-openapi for validation, and it just sets all the defaults values for me.

Just curious if any progress has been made on getting this merged? Would love to use it

// For object references pointers are the only way to denote optional, in contrast
// to other types where the zero-value can be used for that.

Where does this get triggered? I can't seem to work out where this may occur 🤔

Hmm, I actually don't remember anymore. If I spot anything later, I'll add it here (or in a discussion, or issue or whatever would be appropriate then 😄 )
