FWIW, consider first that :

if false {
  foo()
  bar()
}

is legal (and sometimes recommended by autorities, as opposed to 
momentarily commenting out a block, and struggling with unused vars);
and second that :

func log(msg string, level uint) {
  if level < appLevel {
    triggerBigNetworkLogTool(msg)
  }
}

is legal and useful, even if appLevel happens to be a uint constant with 
value 0. See https://play.golang.org/p/nGbELUdvvu

The current policy seems to be: a unused variable is always regarded as a 
compilation error, but unreachable code (dead code) is never a compilation 
error.
