Is there any way to elevate a new process or thread to administrator in Go?

w32is a wrapper of windows apis for the Go Programming Language.It wraps win32 apis to "Go style" to make them easier to use.
CreateProcess() does not support running elevated processes, but there is a third-party CreateProcessElevated() function in the following article that can:

It also provides elevation versions of several other functions, including CreateProcessAsUserElevated() and ShellExecuteElevated().
