Expected behavior:

coffee> m = new Map
Map {}
coffee> m.set m, m
ref1 = Map {
  ref1 => ref1
}
coffee>

Actual behavior:

coffee> m = new Map
Map {}
coffee> m.set m, m
Map {
  Map {
  Map { [Object] => [Object] } => Map { [Object] => [Object] } } => Map {
  Map { [Object] => [Object] } => Map { [Object] => [Object] } } }
coffee>

I know this is a non-trivial problem to solve but it seems worth at least documenting if not solving.
