I barely understand Go, so this is likely a stupid idea. Since Go uses nil 
for a lot of things, lots of things can be nil.

I am not a huge fan of the null safe accessor. 
( https://github.com/golang/go/issues/42847 )

I am a huge fan of the compiler telling me the places where I have not 
checked for nil ... It took me a while to get used to languages which do 
this, but now I can't imagine living without it.

Is it crazy to wish for ...

if x == nil {
  // this does not produce an error because x is known not to be nil
  x.interfaceFunc()
}
// this DOES produce an error/warning if y is possibly nil
y.interfaceFunc()
