Oh you're right. I had forgotten about that.

I think it's mostly an API legacy mistake. Close should probably return (bool, error).

Probably a remnant of coding in C wrt sentinel values.

You could still ignore both returned values. Go shouldn't allow ignoring returns without explicit dogsleds (underscore) at all if it were to stay "in character".
