Comment 1:

Vet has a -printfuncs flag to control the full list of names that it'll check. There's
no end of function names that could be checked. Up to Rob.

Labels changed: added repo-tools.

Is it just me?
$ go vet
$ go vet -printfuncs=Log:0,Logf:0
flag provided but not defined: -printfuncs
usage: vet [-n] [-x] [packages]
Vet runs the Go vet command on the packages named by the import paths.
For more about vet, see 'godoc code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/vet'.
For more about specifying packages, see 'go help packages'.
To run the vet tool with specific options, run 'go tool vet'.
The -n flag prints commands that would be executed.
The -x flag prints commands as they are executed.

$ go version
go version go1.3.1 linux/amd64
$

Try `go tool vet -printfuncs=...`

Comment 4:

Thanks, it works. Ever only used 'go vet' before. It's a bit unfortunate the dualism
even exists.

Comment 5:

Logf is:
- defined by a key package (testing) in the standard library
- rarely run
Therefore having vet check it makes a lot of sense. I'll add it to the default list.
