[erlang-questions] printed maps look confusing

[Vlad Dumitrescu]

You're right I forgot about binaries. [[ should we use guillemets for
binaries?  «"hello"» :-)  That would even shorten the output a bit ]]

I'm a little worried about how the output in large logs.

@Björn-Egil: I don't use pretty printing of records, so I missed that
connection. I would probably have reacted to that too.

Anyway, maybe it's not a big deal.

regards,
Vlad
