Public bug reported:
The man page for 'gofmt' describes three 'Formatting control flags':
-comments=true , -tabs-true, and -tabwidth=8. If I attempt to use them,
I get i.e. "flag provided but not defined: -tabs"
Steps to reproduce:
gofmt <<<"package main" # success
gofmt -invalidflag=true <<<"package main" # failure, as expected
gofmt -comments=true <<<"package main" # failure, unexpected
gofmt -tabs=true <<<"package main" # failure, unexpected
the '-comments', '-tabs' and '-tabwidth' are removed from gofmt in
version 1.11.2, but I am using gofmt version 1.10 from Ubuntu. If this
change was backported to golang-go 1.10~4 then the manpage should be
updated to match.
