>
> Groovy has special hard-coded handling when printing lists, maps and in some
> cases arrays. There have been proposals for disabling this, e.g. part of:
> https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/566
> This issue is to look at a more general approach to handling such cases
> including the ability to disable the special handling and fall back to JDK
> default formatting for e.g. maps.
> The idea that will be explored is to have groovyToString extension methods.
> They would encode the current hard-coded formatting behavior. These
> extensions could be disabled using the groovy.extension.disable system
> property to fall back to JDK defaults.
> Note that currently not all paths funnel through a single path that we can
> fix using this mechanism. Printing some objects through inspect does things
> like limit length and escape backslashes etc. Currently, we don't try to
> force those through this mechanism.
