The Guile pretty printer doesn't support hashmaps

I see 2 options

1) you convert your hashmap into an alist and print that

2) you extend the pretty printer to support hashmaps too and send a
patch

as for the 2nd option, I was suggested to do so myself, not so long ago

but I couldn't bring myself to do that
