Fail on incorrect NewDriver arguments

[timkofu]

This code runs without printing err:

configForNeo4j40 := func(conf *neo4j.Config) { conf.Encrypted = false }

driver, err := neo4j.NewDriver("bolt://localGhost:7687", neo4j.BasicAuth("username", "password", ""), configForNeo4j40)
if err != nil {
	fmt.Println(err)
}

defer driver.Close()

Would it be possible to make it fail if any of the arguments to NewDriver are wrong?

database/sql.Open also doesn't error when you give it an invalid hostname. They provide a Ping method to check the connection.

If possible, all 3 arguments should be checked for validity, and err if any is wrong. A driver.Ping() would be great as it would do the same thing.

There is a driver.VerifyConnectivity function on 1.8 branch that hasn't been tagged for release yet. Will be in 1.8.1.
