<p><!-- CL 142737 -->
Maps are now printed in key-sorted order to ease testing. The ordering rules are:
<ul>
<li>When applicable, nil compares low
<li>ints, floats, and strings order by <
<li>NaN compares less than non-NaN floats
<li>bool compares false before true
<li>Complex compares real, then imaginary
<li>Pointers compare by machine address
<li>Channel values compare by machine address
<li>Structs compare each field in turn
<li>Arrays compare each element in turn
<li>Interface values compare first by <code>reflect.Type</code> describing the concrete type
and then by concrete value as described in the previous rules.
</ul>

When printing maps, non-reflexive key values like <code>NaN</code> were previously
