Overview
The fmt ("format") command formats source code files, by applying a predetermined layout to Go source code.
go fmt delegates to gofmt, and it is equivalent to:
gofmt -l -w <file>
One counterintuitive fact is that it uses the tab character for indentation. This is uncommon.
Rob Pike: "gofmt style is no one's favorite, yet gofmt is everyone's favorite".
