kwlist are inspected as a list of tuples with raw: true

[brunoro]

As discussed on the elixir-talk list:

iex(1)> Kernel.inspect [a: 1,b: 2], raw: true
"[{:a, 1}, {:b, 2}]"
iex(2)> Kernel.inspect [a: 1,b: 2], raw: false
"[a: 1, b: 2]"
iex(3)> Kernel.inspect [a: 1,b: 2]            
"[a: 1, b: 2]"

created another pull request as I messed up with branch names on that one ⬆️

Any reason why this doesn't work anymore?

✗ elixir -v
Erlang/OTP 18 [erts-7.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] [dtrace]

Elixir 1.2.3
✗ iex
Erlang/OTP 18 [erts-7.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] [dtrace]

Interactive Elixir (1.2.3) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)> Kernel.inspect [a: 1, b: 2], raw: true
"[a: 1, b: 2]"

Also noticing things like structs and stuff that override the inspect protocol like regular expressions don't print out any differently...

iex(2)> Kernel.inspect ~r/a|b/, raw: true
"~r/a|b/"

I agree with Dave Thomas, I'd like to see the magic stripped away. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/elixir-lang-talk/bfLdUrvCs-U/30nCxofrHGsJ

Is this intentional?

If you type h inspect in your terminal, it shows the options are listed on Inspect.Opts. Then, by typing h Inspect.Opts, you can see there is no raw: true anymore. The option was broken down into specific ones before 1.0 was release, I believe.
