According to the doc, the flag '0' is ignored for strings

'0' pad with leading zeros rather than spaces; for numbers, this moves the padding after the sign; ignored for strings, byte slices and byte arrays

but the flag '0' is not ignored in below code. Is the doc wrong? Or do I misunderstand it?

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Printf("s", "abc")
    // print 00abc
}

Looks like you found a bug.

The source code resets the zero flag only for - (minus) flag. It is not modified neither for strings nor for any other type.

And the function that outputs a string doesn't reset the zero flag either.
