This was done on purpose. `Map.gist` used to call `.perl` on the pairs in the past instead of `.gist`, which both is different from what `Hash.gist` does and is not correct. Certain things cannot be .perled while they can be gisted and also for some things (like List and Blob) .perl gives All The Things™ for some things while .gist gives just the gist. c: 2017.07,HEAD Map.new((:42a, b => (1...2000))).gist.say https://gist.github.com/c9f8e43d227626d5c7b1f45d6397aaae c: 2017.07,HEAD Map.new((:42a, b => (1...*))).gist.say ¦2017.07: «Cannot .elems a lazy list in block <unit> at /tmp/78NrayS5Sy line 1 «exit code = 1»» ¦HEAD(8a88d14): «Map.new((a => 42, b => (...)))»
