My guess is that the semantics of Pugs and Elf falls out naturally
form a pair being treated as a list of two elements, or something. The
question still deserves to be raised whether always-2 is a good
semantics, or whether one would prefer some other default.
My idea is to let a pair numify to whatever the value numifies to.
Same thing with stringification. In general I think that a pair should
hide its key as far as possible if used as non-pair.
