The return value of <code>recover</code> is <code>nil</code> when the
goroutine is not panicking or <code>recover</code> was not called directly by a deferred function.
Conversely, if a goroutine is panicking and <code>recover</code> was called directly by a deferred function,
the return value of <code>recover</code> is guaranteed not to be <code>nil</code>.
