http://play.golang.org/p/gii_KLkBJF

package main

import "fmt"

type Tuint8 uint8

func (t Tuint8) String() string { return "Tuint8" }

type Tint8 int8

func (t Tint8) String() string { return "Tint8" }

func main() {
    fmt.Println("[]Tint8:", []Tint8{1,2,3})
    fmt.Println("[]Tuint8:", []Tuint8{1,2,3})
    fmt.Println("[]byte:", []byte{1,2,3})
}

should probably print

[]Tint8: [Tint8 Tint8 Tint8]
[]Tuint8: [Tuint8 Tuint8 Tuint8]
[]byte: [1 2 3]

but prints

[]Tint8: [Tint8 Tint8 Tint8]
[]Tuint8: [1 2 3]
[]byte: [1 2 3]

The check for []byte should only apply to []byte (and the indistinguishable []uint8) but
not to [] of a typed byte.

type T byte
func (T) String() string { return "X" }

fmt.Sprintf("%s", []T{97, 98, 99, 100}) == "abcd"
fmt.Sprintf("%x", []T{97, 98, 99, 100}) == "61626364"
fmt.Sprintf("%v", []T{97, 98, 99, 100}) == "[X X X X]"

This change makes the last case print correctly.
Before, it would have been "[97 98 99 100]".

Fixes golang#8360.
