Singular Message Fields: invalid documentation

[3052]

here:

https://protobuf.dev/reference/go/go-generated/#singular-message

it says:

The compiler also generates a func (m Concert) GetHeadliner() Band helper function. This function returns a nil *Band if m is nil or headliner is unset. This makes it possible to chain get calls without intermediate nil checks:

this is not correct. if the method actually returned nil, chaining would generate a panic. instead, it likely generates a zero value pointer:

new(Band)
&Band{}

that is not the same thing as nil
