Is this good? For big hashes it will steal time. Anyway hashes are not ordered by definition. I would endorse that .gist method should short keys somehow but not .perl

from old-design-docs.

Note that, in the latest Rakudo, hashes appear to be ordered.

% perl6-m --version
This is perl6 version 2015.04-204-ga040b1a built on MoarVM version 2015.04-62-g052aca0
% perl6-m -e'say { :a(10), :b(20), :c(30) }.perl'
{:a(10), :b(20), :c(30)}

% perl6-m -e'say { :a(10), :b(20), :c(30) }.perl'
{:a(10), :b(20), :c(30)}
