They discourage using it for regular errors, and Go programmers 
seem to swallow the very noice error-checking regime. Panic 
recover is also quite clunky and runtime dependent. Yes, I 
personally use it as clunky hack to emulate exceptions, but it is 
much less maintainable.

Are they extending the language?
