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.
