Hi! :-)

I'd like to understand the reasoning in Go better.

This code is allowed:
newlocalvar, _ := strconv.Atoi(somestring)

And this code is forbidden:
somestruct.field, _ = strconv.Atoi(somestring)

At least it does not compile, and so far I have learned that the reason is 
you should not ignore errors or be encouraged to ignore errors.

But why are local variables then different to fields? Is ignoring errors a 
bigger problem when the problematic values go into structures? They are 
more "on the outside" and create more problems?

Or has there been another reason that these two code fragments are handled 
differently?
