Go can already pass/pipe the result of a function, which returns multiple
values, to another function, which accepts the same values as arguments. A
similar mechanism can be used for handling errors, by passing/pipe them to
a special construct.
Now, assume we have a function named funcCtx:
func funcCtx() (res int, err error) {
// ...
}
Having that, these does not look that ugly:
func funcCtx() (res int, err error) {
res, return() = action()
// or
res, panic() = action()
}
Those statements will have an effect, only if the returned value is not
nil. For performing some actions, before the actual return or panic:
res, return({ log.Println(err) }) = action()
There is this restriction, that the function that contains this block,
funcCtx, has to return named return values - for both handling the zero
values and having a one to one mapping between its return values and those
of action function.
Also for having a name, err in this case, that makes it clear, which
variable we are talking about.
In the proposal
<https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/master/design/go2draft-error-handling-overview.md>,
it's not clear where the err variable comes from (what if there are three
return values?)
