// IsPanicking returns true iff the current goroutine is panicking.
//
// Always returns false when not invoked via a defer'd function.
//
// This should only be used to indicate some best-effort error status, not to
// modify control flow of the program. Panics are still crashes!
//
// HACK: Detection is implemented by looking up the stack at most skip+10 frames
// above IsPanicking to find if the golang panic handler is on the stack. This
// may break when the Go runtime changes!
//
// `skip` indicates how many additional frames of the stack to skip (a value of
// 0 starts the stack at the caller of `IsPanicking`). Clamps to a minimum value
// of 0.
//
// Does NOT invoke `recover()`. WILL detect `panic(nil)`.
