The `dartanalyzer` and `test` tasks a list of optional parameters to pass to the corresponding tools, but the `dartfmt` task doesn’t. This means there’s no way to run `dartfmt --fix` to ensure that non-whitespace formatting is appropriate.

Also, if you _do_ write `dartmft: --fix`, you get an error message ([example](https://travis-ci.org/google/dart_cli_pkg/jobs/559749358)), but it doesn’t cause the task to fail.
