If you get the ? from rust in addition to the option, then it’s suddenly a lot more convenient. It will do `if err != nil { return err; }` in a single symbol.

There’s also convenience at the returning side. You can always just return the error, and not have to care about dummy values for the other return values (which is especially annoying when changing the returned types).

That said, it might still not be worth the added complexity.
