I am getting that the GoFolk are building GOLANG with this problem firmly in mind, and may just be expecting to avoid it.

You can expect the unexpected not to happen all you want, reality won't care a bit.

In fact, this makes me think of the Douglas Adams quote sitting right above my main display:

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair"
