how is log.Panic useful?

[Anmol Sethi]

I cannot seem to think of many situations where log.Panic is very useful. Can someone provide a quick example?

I use it in main() in short scripts to handle errors when I don't expect them to ever occur. It's just a shortcut for log.Error followed by panic. Similar to log.Fatal.

In startup situation when you like to grab the extra information about all the goroutines that might already have been started. Those are situations where i regularly panic, because i somethings goes wrong there i want to grab all the possible information i can.
