What did you do?

Ranged over the result of calling Seq on the reflect value of a named integer type.

What did you see happen?

The reflect.Values produced by the iteration having the type of the given value's underlying type.

What did you expect to see?

From the Go 1.23 release notes:

The new methods Value.Seq and Value.Seq2 return sequences that iterate over the value as though it were used in a for/range loop.

Thus, I expected the produced Values to be of the same type as the given integer, as for range behaves:

Thanks report.
I will fix.

@gopherbot Please open backport issues.

The reflect package is using the wrong types when iterating over a sequence of user-defined types.

[gopherbot]

Backport issue(s) opened: #71915 (for 1.23), #71916 (for 1.24).

Remember to create the cherry-pick CL(s) as soon as the patch is submitted to master, according to https://go.dev/wiki/MinorReleases.
