This shortens, simplifies and regularizes the code significantly. (Improvements to reflect could make another step.) Passes all.bash. One semantic change occurs: The String() method changes behavior. It used to run only for string formats such as %s and %q. Instead, it now runs whenever the item has the method and the result is then processed by the format as a string. Besides the regularization, this has three effects: 1) width is honored for String() items 2) %x works for String() items 3) implementations of String that merely recur will recur forever Regarding point 3, example from the updated documentation: type X int func (x X) String() string { return Sprintf("%d", x) } should cast the value before recurring: func (x X) String() string { return Sprintf("%d", int(x)) } R=rsc CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/1613045
