           Summary: redBlackTree printing
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc



This little program:


import std.stdio, std.container;
void main() {
    auto t = redBlackTree(0, 7, 5, 2);
    writeln(t);
    writeln(t[]);
}


Prints (DMD 2.053 beta):
std.container.RedBlackTree!(int).RedBlackTree
[0, 2, 5, 7]


But often I'd like collections to print something that's able to generate the
data structure again, as in Python:

 s = set([1, 2, 3])
 s



set([1, 2, 3])
 l = [1, 2, 3]
 l



[1, 2, 3]
 d = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3}
 d



{1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3}

This is very useful for debugging, logging, for quick scripts, etc.

So I'd like one of the two (the first one?) to print something more like this
instead:

redBlackTree(0, 2, 5, 7)

This too is acceptable:

std.container.redBlackTree(0, 2, 5, 7)
