As part of the upgrade to Go 1.21, the Go toolchain now requires the
go directive to match the maximum Go version in use in dependencies.

This leads to any transitive dependency on this library to result in a
requirement of the consuming project moving to Go 1.21.

Although in a lot of cases this may not be as problematic, it forces
consumers to migrate, which we don't need to do in this case.


As discussed in oapi-codegen/oapi-codegen#1221 and related change in gofiber/fiber#2614. See also golang/go#62409

I want users to be forced to upgrade their Go versions for security reasons but if that issues problems, we can downgrade to 1.20. Thanks

Thank you! 1.20 is still supported by the Go team so for now will be getting security updates too ☺
