Once upon a time fmt did use bytes.Buffer for its buffer.
The buffer write methods still mimic the bytes.Buffer signatures.
The current code depends on manipulating the buffer []bytes array directly
which makes going back to bytes.Buffer by only changing the type of buffer
impossible. Since type buffer is not exported the methods can be simplified
to the needs of fmt. This saves space and avoids unnecessary overhead.
Use WriteString instead of Write for known inputs since
WriteString is faster than Write to append the same data.
This also saves space in the binary.
Remove the add method from Printer and depending on the data to be written
use WriteRune or WriteByte directly instead.
In total makes the go binary around 4 kilobyte smaller.

When a reflect.Value is passed to Printf (etc.), fmt called the
String method, which does not disclose its contents. To get the
contents, one could call Value.Interface(), but that is illegal
if the Value is not exported or otherwise forbidden.
This CL improves the situation with a trivial change to the
fmt package: when we see a reflect.Value as an argument,
we treat it exactly as we treat a reflect.Value we make inside
the package. This means that we always print the
contents of the Value as if _that_ was the argument to Printf.
This is arguably a breaking change but I think it is a genuine
improvement and no greater a break than many other tweaks
we have made to formatted output from this package.

Currently we always allocate string buffers in heap.
For example, in the following code we allocate a temp string
just for comparison:
if string(byteSlice) == "abc" { ... }
This change extends escape analysis to cover []byte->string
conversions and string concatenation. If the result of operations
does not escape, compiler allocates a small buffer
on stack and passes it to slicebytetostring and concatstrings.
Then runtime uses the buffer if the result fits into it.
Size of the buffer is 32 bytes. There is no fundamental theory
behind this number. Just an observation that on std lib
tests/benchmarks frequency of string allocation is inversely
proportional to string length; and there is significant number
of allocations up to length 32.

It was inconsistent.
Also test these better.
Also document the default format for types.
This wasn't written down.

Apply a similar transformation to %+v that we did to %#v, making it
a top-level setting separate from the + flag itself. This fixes the
appearance of flags in Formatters and cleans up the code too,
probably making it a little faster.
Fixes#8835.

The %#v verb is special: it says all values below need to print as %#v.
However, for some situations the # flag has other meanings and this
causes some issues, particularly in how Formatters work. Since %#v
dominates all formatting, translate it into actual state of the formatter
and decouple it from the # flag itself within the calculations (although
it must be restored when methods are doing the work.)
The result is cleaner code and correct handling of # for Formatters.
TODO: Apply the same thinking to the + flag in a followup CL.
Also, the wasString return value in handleMethods is always false,
so eliminate it.

Previous behavior was undocumented and inconsistent. Now it is documented
and consistent and measures the input size, since that makes more sense
when talking about %q and %x. For %s the change has no effect.

With new interface allocation rules, the old counts were wrong and
