Research direction
Examine the repository's pretty printing logic, likely in a module like erlyberly utils.erl. Add a clause to handle dict type using dict:to list(), following the pattern for other types. Check if any existing tests cover pretty printing and extend them. The issue is old, but the implementation appears localized and should be straightforward.
