// unusedresult: check for unused results of calls to some functions
//
// Some functions like fmt.Errorf return a result and have no side effects,
// so it is always a mistake to discard the result. This analyzer reports
// calls to certain functions in which the result of the call is ignored.
//
// The set of functions may be controlled using flags.
