The answer to that question is entirely dependent on context, which is stripped by using anonymous labels as you have. For linear things, the second one is clearer, for hierarchical things the first is.
It is entirely possible to test each piece of an hierarchical structure; this is the basis for unit testing. If you take a look at how Go authors conventionally write helpers (you'll see this throughout the stdlib and in the golang.org/x packages) the naming conventions foster an intelligibility, while factoring out code and so 1. making it testable, and 2. preventing the details getting in the way of the bigger picture (at each hierarchical level). To be perfectly frank, providing a mechanism that allowed people to put more code into functions, as the with system you're proposing appears to, would IMO harm intelligibility and I'd reject code that used it in PRs.
