Fixes are based on Go report card output:
- `gofmt -s` eliminates some duplication in struct/slice initialization
- `golint` found some issues like: `warning: should drop = nil from declaration of var XXX; it is the zero value`
- `golint` found some issues like: `warning: receiver name XXX should be consistent with previous receiver name YYY for ZZZ`
- `golint` says not to use underscores for function/variable names
- `golint` found several issues like: `warning: if block ends with a return statement, so drop this else and outdent its block`
No functional changes are included - just source code quality improvements.
fix misspellings; fix code that was not gofmt'd - plus take advantage of gofmt -s too; couple of unreachable golint reported fixes; reference go report card results and tests
