C-h v some keymap now gives some numbers instead of the familiar bindings.
flyspell-mode-map is a variable defined in ‘flyspell.el’.
Its value is (keymap
(3 keymap
(36 . flyspell-correct-word-before-point))
(67108910 . flyspell-auto-correct-word)
(67108908 . flyspell-goto-next-error)
(67108923 . flyspell-auto-correct-previous-word)
(27 keymap
(9 . flyspell-auto-correct-word)))
This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.
Documentation:
Minor mode keymap for Flyspell mode--for the whole buffer.
emacs-version "25.1.1"

What do you mean by "now"? It seems to be consistent to as far back as
23.4.

That's the value of the keymap variable, so I don't see anything to fix here.

But I think the report is about how this value is being printed.
67108908 is not that...informative.
I guess one could teach cl-print to produce a more human readable syntax
for keymaps. That could also be useful for M-:.

A keymap is just a list (or vector); C-h v should display it as is.
If a user wants a readable output, there's `C-h b' etc.

It would display it "as is", it would just use a syntax like e.g. ?t
instead of 166. How would that be problematic?

I think it just sounds a bit confusing. Would users believe that ?t is
something else than 166 just in a keymap context? And no matter how you
display the keymap in `C-h v', it's going to be pretty incomprehensible.
But there's also a parallel bug report about adding a describe-keymap
command that'll display the keymap in a more sensible fashion (not as a
list/vector at all), and that's probably going to be merged.

Why would they? This char syntax is widely used.

We have just very different opinions here I think.
