<p>A <code>panic</code> typically means something went unexpectedly
wrong. Mostly we use it to fail fast on errors that
shouldn&rsquo;t occur during normal operation, or that we
aren&rsquo;t prepared to handle gracefully.</p>

<p>A common use of panic is to abort if a function
returns an error value that we don&rsquo;t know how to
(or want to) handle. Here&rsquo;s an example of
