Feature #16985
Updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze) over 4 years ago
Could we improve `pp` for `Hash` and `String`:
```ruby
pp({hello: 'My name is "Marc-André"'})
# =>
{hello: 'My name is "Marc-André"'} "Marc-André"}
# instead of
{:hello=>"My name is \"Marc-André\""}
```
If any key is non-symbol, they would continue to be output as `<key> => <value>`. If a string contains single quotes, or characters that need escaping (e.g. `"\n"`), current format would be used.
I'll gladly provide a PR if this is deemed acceptable.
I would even like this for `String#inspect` and `Hash#inspect` but it's not clear if this could lead to much incompatibility (maybe test suites?)
