Excellent idea!
Occasionally an error message needs to be created or elaborated, requiring
a multi-line if statement body.
But the common situation is where the error is simply returned to the
calling function using a single-statement if statement.
If these single-statement if statements could be:
if err != nil { return <any return arguments>, err }
the visual appearance of code would become far more compact and easier to
read, and we wouldn't need any special new syntax.
