I would love a syntactic sugar for 'if err == nil {Errors.Wrap(err, *What I was trying to do")}'. As a SRE, making each part of the stack explicit (or explicitly non-explicit) is invaluable for understanding debugging. I'm A-ok with some forms of error throwing, but they need to be clear and understood.

I think you meant the code:

  if err != nil { 
    return fmt.Errorf("What I was trying to do: %w")

  }

That's the correct and standard way to do error wrapping in Go since Go 1.13[1]. There is also Dave Cheney's pkg/errors[2] which does define "errors.Wrap()", but that has been superseded by the native functionality in Go.

The code I'm primarily working on is old enough that Errors.Wrap is the standard - Though refactoring that is definitely on the radar :)
