Yes, for bare pairs, it's probably somewhat bogus. But now I'm asking
myself about the use of as a Lispish '.':
'a' => 'b' => 'c' => 'd'
There's something to be said for having a way of indexing into that
using numeric subscripts. Certainly Lisp's extensible car/cdr notation
is the wrong way to do it, but cdddr is certainly shorter than
$pair.value.value.value
But maybe that's worth being dehuffmanized like that...
