Subject: Printing a hash table
Date: 18 Dec 2014 15:45:22 GMT	[thread overview]

Hi,

When I have a larg(ish) hash table, displaying this table (e.g., in an
ielm buffer by entering the name that points to it), can take some time.
Usually, when I do this, I'm not really interested in the values stored
in the table, just in the fact whether the variable whose value I'm
checking is actually pointing to a hash table.

Is there a way to tell Emacs to not print the data of a hash table?

TIA


Joost
