Is there a way to delay the unmarshaling of a specific field?

For example, package encoding/json has its own RawMessage type which implements UnmarshalJSON but in reality just holds the raw JSON data so it can be unmarshaled later.

That's a very interesting question! We don't have that today. I wonder how much sense it would make for TOML: a document has a different semantic meanings based on the order the elements appear in the document, and potentially may or may not be valid as a result. JSON does not have this problem.

Can you elaborate on a use-case for this?

I don't have a use-case for this, I was just wondering why go-toml doesn't have this functionality but now I got my answer. Thanks 👍
