It's unclear to me how you're supposed to fix this linter error when you're calling a function you don't control, for example, the standard library. The following gives a path to the file of the calling code:

_, self, _, _ := runtime.Caller(0)

I can't edit the runtime package.

Presumably, the intention of this linter is to warn when people have written functions like runtime.Caller and should return a struct instead. So the linter should perhaps only warn when the called function is within the same module/repository. At the least, a list of known exclusions in the standard library would be good.

Using the -set_exit_status flag has no effect because the variable used, exitStatus, is initialize to 0 and never changed.

I encountered a problem while using dogsled to check my source code. I use tview in my project, which has an API that returns the coordinates and height and width of the rectangle where the UI element is located. Such APIs are common in UI libraries. But my code only needs to know the height, so I have to write this code:

	_, _, _, height := ui.pages.GetRect()

But at this time dogsled told me that this was wrong. But I can’t really assign them to some variables, because I really do n’t need them!

So what should I do?

Thank you!
