What did you do?

https://play.golang.org/p/vDgR-zpii2

What did you expect to see?

As per the documentation:

The default format for %v is:
uint, uint8 etc.: %d, %x if printed with %#v

What did you see instead?

unsigned integers when printed with %#v are formatted similar to %#x.

Here is a test supporting it.

Can we really do anything with this at this point? I think we have to keep the current behavior to preserve backwards compatibility.
