converter inheritance of parent struct funcs

Hey! :) Is there any way to inherit parent node/struct funcs? For example, a situation that can be expressed with such code. ```golang type ParentNode struct { ListOfSomething []struct{ Data string `html:"div > span" converter:"Trim"` } `html:".awesome-div"` } func (ParrentNode) Trim(data string) (string, error) { . . . } ``` When trying to use `Trim` from `ParentNode` for `Data` I get the error "converter not exist: Trim". And the only way that I found is to take out the structures, and attach to them their personal convertors. ```golang type ParentNode struct { ListOfSomething []Something `html:".awesome-div"` } type Something struct { Data string `html:"div > span" converter:"Trim"` } func (Something) Trim(data string) (string, error) { . . . } ``` This isn't a big problem for small structs. But with a deep nesting this will become a big problem with a bloating and duplicated amount of code. PS: Thank you so much for the work and time that you spent on creating this package. I don’t understand why such a convenient tool has such little fame.

Thx for your advice. I think inheriting methods is unnecessary. On the one hand, using underlying types straightly may be unreadable for me. On the other hand, a converter may should be normal function instead of method. Do you think using normal functions is a better choise?
