Expression-based inspection for PIDs

[Ilya Averyanov]

Hello!

In Elixir 1.14, we have:

>expression-based inspection has been implemented for Version.Requirement, MapSet, and Date.Range.

What prevents expression-based inspection from being implemented for PIDs? Like:

iex(1)> self()
pid(0,110,0)

[Felipe Stival]

I'd guess this is blocked by the fact that `pid/3` isn't available in `Kernel`, but in `IEx.Helpers`.

[José Valim]

Yeah. Hardcoding PIDs in the source code is going to lead to bugs, that's the reason to avoid making it first class.
