The suggested fix reorders the fields of a struct declaration but
leaves unkeyed composite literals of that struct alone. The literal
then silently assigns values to the wrong fields, or no longer
compiles.

Do not report a struct that has an unkeyed composite literal in the
same package, as suggested in the issue. Unkeyed literals from other
packages are already a mistake, since reordering fields is a
compatible change.

Fixes golang/go#80277

Thanks for the review. Patch set 2 addresses your three comments: the package doc now mentions that structs with an unkeyed composite literal in the same package are not reported, I added the note that checking the first element is enough, and I moved the comments as suggested. It also fixes the linux-386 failure: the test pattern hard-coded 64-bit sizes, so it now matches any size. Could you re-run the dry run when you have a moment?
