Sprint that wraps Fprint about errors

[davecheney]

Thank you for raising this issue. At the moment my position oj adding a sprint wrapper has not changed, for the following reasons

• it really is trivial to right, and I feel if this package was to be proposed for the stdlib, this function would not make the cut so it's best to get used to living without it now
• I agree that a string form is more useful than an io.writer form, but as we saw while people want the information as a string, they have conflicting requirements on the format of that string; multiline vs single line, files vs paths, etc. The original version was removed to side step this underspecified requirement.
• recently errrs in this package grew the ability to record their entire stack trace, but this information is not yet surfaced by this package, solving that problem will impact Fprint (probably replacing it entirely) so adding an sprint helper on top would be short lived.

Thank you for your time

Dave

Urg, please ignore the typos, there is no edit option in the mobile version of github.

Thanks for the reply. I will close this issue and await the future changes.

Hello,

I wanted to draw your attention to #37 as a possible replacement for Fprintf and others. #37 is not a complete implementation, but the plan is to defer any formatting or layout decisions to the fmt package, controlled by various formatting modifiers.
