-Go-spew implements a deep pretty printer for Go data structures to aid in
+Simply added IgnoreFieldByName(string) and IgnoreFieldByType(string) to suppress dumps.  IgnoreFieldByType will also add []name and *name so pointers to and arrays of the speciified name are also ignored.
-debugging.  A comprehensive suite of tests with 100% test coverage is provided
-to ensure proper functionality.  See `test_coverage.txt` for the gocov coverage
-report.  Go-spew is licensed under the liberal ISC license, so it may be used in
-open source or commercial projects.
 
-If you're interested in reading about how this package came to life and some
