What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. http://play.golang.org/p/Gtvj9bhAFl

What is the expected output?
IsPrint('\u3000') returns true.

Please provide any additional information below.
U+3000 (Ideographic Space) is used as a space character in Japanese.
So It should be treated as a printable character.

Comment 1:

"IsPrint" is a Go-defined property, not a Unicode-defined one. The only space character
that satisfies IsPrint is the ASCII space. IsPrint gets used by things like %q to decide
whether to escape a rune or not. By admitting only a single space character, we make
sure that if you see something that looks like a space in a quoted string, it really is
an ASCII space, not some other Unicode space. This applies to all kinds of spaces, not
just Japanese spaces. For example, IsPrint('\u00A0') is false too.
If you want to allow all kinds of spaces, use the Unicode-defined "graphic" property,
called as unicode.IsGraphic.

Status changed to WorkingAsIntended.
