To me “exectuable code” inspection format is a (better) alternative to the previous convention of having `#Struct.Name<…>` format. But I don’t expect it in places where no custom inspect implementation is needed and/or makes sense, so I don’t consider that new pattern a general one to be applied everywhere.
