This was done on purpose. `Map.gist` used to call `.perl` on the pairs in the
past instead of `.gist`, which both is different from what `Hash.gist` does and
is not correct. Certain things cannot be .perled while they can be gisted and
also for some things (like List and Blob) .perl gives All The Things™ for some
things while .gist gives just the gist.
