I don't mind taking a stab at this, as it would be useful for me as well.

It wasn't hard to figure out where to plumb in the option, in Configuration, specifically OutputOptions.

And the tag is defined as extPropGoTypeSkipOptionalPointer here. That const is referenced in 2 places:

• inside GenerateGoSchema() here
• inside GenFieldsFromProperties() here

Those set the Schema based on the values of various things, like the tags.

The right approach seems to be to check the default from the config, and, if it is set or if it is in the tag, then set it as true.

The problem is I don't see how the global properties are plumbed through to where those calls are made.

If you can point me in the right direction @jamietanna , I can open a PR on it.

Any interest?
