Upon further investigation, I think this requires

        multi method WHICH(Pair:D:) {
                "Pair|" ~ $!key.WHICH ~ "|" ~ $!value.VAR.WHICH
        }

That is, .VAR needs to be applied to $!value, which isn't currently in
the WHICH method.  My original suggestion of merely using the existing
non-container branch of the WHICH method, without this fix, would
cause the WHICH to reflect the identity of the value in the container.
That outcome is what Liz then pointed out would be incorrect, though it
was never what I intended.
