README

Report uses of variables that are nil

When code has already dealt with a variable being nil, it doesn't usually make sense to continue referencing that variable. e.g.

func foo() error {
  result, err := DoSomething()
  if err != nil {
    return err
  }
  if result.IsBad() {
    return err
  }
  return nil
}
