That would be very annoying to use as many pointers are just assumed to be non-nil and you don't have any other option but to assume they're non-nil.

Also since Go supports nil receivers, it would have to require that every "pointer method" be checked for nil. Which technically they should, but...

I'd imagine it'd be one of the "disabled by default" in `golangci-lint`, for example - helpful for when you're doing an in-depth review of the code but probably not something you want running on every CI invocation.
