description.
If an Error or String method triggers a panic when called by a
print routine, the fmt package reformats the error message
from the panic, decorating it with an indication that it came
through the fmt package. For example, if a String method
calls panic("bad"), the resulting formatted message will look
like
%s(PANIC=bad)
The %s just shows the print verb in use when the failure
occurred.
