> requires you to run an extra tool

And the more I work with Go, the less I understand why warnings were not added to the compiler. Essentially instead of having them in the compiler itself, one needs to run a tool, which will have much smaller user base.

But anyway, in Go, it's sometimes fine to have both non-nil error and a result, e.g. the notorious EOF error.
