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)) }
