Go 2 is likely to get a per-call variation of try/catch via named handle blocks, see:

https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go2ErrorHandlingFeedback

and this broad survey of error handling requirements:

Also the author overlooks the Error Values draft design, which is tentatively targeted for Go 1.13:

I believe handle blocks is exactly what they were referring to as "basically a reverse try-catch at best and a Visual Basic “on error goto” at worst".

Based on the feedback page linked above, I believe what is likely for Go 2 is quite different than "check/handle". See the requirements page linked above for more.
