errhelp

Simple helper functions to make golang error handling easier. They reduce the boilerplate. For example. you can replace

user, err := createUser(data)
if err != nil {
  log.Printf("Error creating user: %v", err)
}

with

import eh "github.com/bfollek/errhelp"

user, err := createUser(data)
eh.LogIfError("creating user", err)

Warning! Lightly used and tested.
