Hi @mooreds - adding any further examples to fmt has been superceded by https://github.com/golang/go/issues/27554 now as per @robpike 's comment.

Sorry for the troubles. I hope this does not discourage you from contributing again in the future ! Please do feel free to add examples in other packages or any other task that you want to pickup :)

If you have any doubts, please ask around in the forums. Thanks again for your effort.

@agnivade no worries! I'm just glad there are examples now.
