I'm not sure about the changes to power asserts. For simple expressions,
this shouldn't be much of a problem, however things are not always that
simple, so adding information like types or hashcode may easily become
unreadable. I would suggest to create a proposal (spec?) with some examples,
with the current output and the new output, for a good number of use cases.
This would at least help me making my mind.
