I would find that very nice if it was able to handle
recursive data structures.  One of the key things
that I use Data::Dumper for is to debug the situation
when two places in the same data structure are
references to the same thing.  The debugging output
in Ruby does not currently do this...

If it doesn't then for the most part, the built-in
functionality with "p" is good enough for me.
