Ah true. I forgot about the whitespace formatting versions. I stand
corrected that a fmt.Error would actually perform formatting and would be
consistent with Sprint and Print. My only guess now is that it *could* have
been in the errors package if the errors package had been created at the
same time as the fmt package, but it was added later after fmt.Errorf
already existed.
