<h4 id="vet-precision">Precision improvements for existing checkers</h4>
<p><!-- CL 323589 356830 319689 355730 351553 338529 -->
The <code>cmd/vet</code> checkers <code>copylock</code>, <code>printf</code>,
<code>sortslice</code>, <code>testinggoroutine</code>, and <code>tests</code>
have all had moderate precision improvements to handle additional code patterns.
This may lead to newly reported errors in existing packages. For example, the
<code>printf</code> checker now tracks formatting strings created by
concatenating string constants. So <code>vet</code> will report an error in:
<pre>
// fmt.Printf formatting directive %d is being passed to Println.
fmt.Println("%d"+` ≡ x (mod 2)`+"\n", x%2)
</pre>
