Shame on me, I didn't know that there is a typeof_s_p OP... :-)

This can know be changed to print something like
"VAR1" => ParrotIO { ... }
Then its possible to remove the special handling of the Sub object.
My next plan is to implement some optional parameters like a maximum recursion
deep and an array of PMCs not to recursively dump, in order to ease the
usesage with large data structures.
Printing some more information for ParrotIO, ParrotClass, ParrotObject,
OrderedHash, ManagedStruct and UnManagedStruct is also on my TODO list.
I have no idea how to dump the last three types, can anyone give me a hint?
