You can actually propagate errors from it. It's not pretty but it works:

    func Pants() (rerr error) {
        defer func() {
            if err := doStuff(); err != nil && rerr == nil {
                rerr = err
            }
        }()
        // ...
        return nil
    }

I use this function all the time with `io.Closer` implementations:

    func DeferClose(err *error, closer io.Closer) {
        cerr := closer.Close()
        if *err == nil && cerr != nil {
            *err = cerr
        }
    }

    func Pants() (rerr error) {
        f, _ := os.Open(...)
        defer errtools.DeferClose(&rerr, f)
        // ...
        return nil
    }
