Instance an array from a type in go

Question

How can I instance an array with a given type?

I get the type this way:

type := reflect.ValueOf(obj)

But I don't know how to get an instance of an array with this type

type := reflect.ValueOf(obj)
reflectSlice := reflect.MakeSlice(type, sliceLength, sliceCapacity)

In case he really meant array and not slice, then he'll have to wait for CL4111.
