type selectors not supported

I'm trying to implement a bridge to the go etcd client library, but I cannot do it beacause your library doesn't support type selectors, which is pretty much mandatory to use any library.

I'm trying to generate the following code, this is just a simple starting point:

package etcd

import (
	"time"

	clientv3 "go.etcd.io/etcd/client/v3"
)

func Connect(endpoints []string) (*clientv3.Client, error) {
	cli, err := clientv3.New(clientv3.Config{
		Endpoints:   endpoints,
		DialTimeout: 5 * time.Second,
	})
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	return cli, nil
}

And I get the following error:

2024/10/29 11:12:56 Processing
2024/10/29 11:12:56  - Func Connect
2024/10/29 11:12:56 ast contained unsupported data: type selectors not supported: clientv3.Client

If I use a dot import:

package etcd

import (
	"time"

	. "go.etcd.io/etcd/client/v3"
)

func Connect(endpoints []string) (*Client, error) {
	cli, err := New(Config{
		Endpoints:   endpoints,
		DialTimeout: 5 * time.Second,
	})
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	defer cli.Close()

	return cli, nil
}

I get the following error:

2024/10/29 11:25:57 Processing
2024/10/29 11:25:57  - Func Connect
2024/10/29 11:25:57 ast contained unexpected data: unexpected type *parser.ArrayType

Which is fine, arrays may not be supported, I can work around that by just joining the strings with a comma:

package etcd

import (
	"strings"
	"time"

	. "go.etcd.io/etcd/client/v3"
)

func Connect(endpoints string) (*Client, error) {
	cli, err := New(Config{
		Endpoints:   strings.Split(endpoints, ","),
		DialTimeout: 5 * time.Second,
	})
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	defer cli.Close()

	return cli, nil
}

But now it doesn't know what the type even is, complaining that it doesn't exist (it does.):

2024/10/29 11:26:18 Processing
2024/10/29 11:26:18  - Func Connect
2024/10/29 11:26:18 ast contained unexpected data: type is not defined: Client

How should I resolve this? Is there even a way to do this? What's even the point of this package if you can't write wrappers for libraries?
