nope. just use a custom String method:

    func (UserSession) String() string {
       return "hello world"
    }

or a custom type:

    type UserSession struct {
       Username string
       pwHash password
    }
    
    type password string
    
    func (password) String() string {
       return "[redact]"
    }
