I tested both approaches. Neither were drop in replacements. In the original lib, the caching behaviour was different, and some funcs related to caching were used in "fang" for testing. For using the standard lib, I had to add a helper function to expand tilde "~" to the home dir path. In both, I had to remove some test cases. I will stick with the stdlib for now. The clio (golang-github-anchore-clio) package also required a patch to remove this lib. Thanks, Rafael Passos
