Dump(cuecontext.New()): Litter does not, spew does

[rudifa]

Describe the bug

sanity-io litter.Dump(ctx) fails to dump a moderately complex struct cuecontext.New() where spew.Dump(ctx) dumps over 100 lines.

Both dumpers print a reasonable representation of a simple demo struct

To Reproduce

Run the main.go shown in the next comment and observe results (also reproduced below)

Expected behavior

A detailed dump of ctx by litter, equivalent to that from spew

Observed behavior

From litter.Dump(ctx) I get just a single line:

&cue.Context{}

Here is the test module

module example.com/try-litter

go 1.21.0

require (
	cuelang.org/go v0.6.0
	github.com/davecgh/go-spew v1.1.1
	github.com/sanity-io/litter v1.5.5
)

require (
	github.com/cockroachdb/apd/v3 v3.2.0 // indirect
	github.com/google/uuid v1.2.0 // indirect
	github.com/mpvl/unique v0.0.0-20150818121801-cbe035fff7de // indirect
	golang.org/x/net v0.8.0 // indirect
	golang.org/x/text v0.8.0 // indirect
	gopkg.in/yaml.v3 v3.0.1 // indirect

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"cuelang.org/go/cue/cuecontext"

	"github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew"
	"github.com/sanity-io/litter"
)

func main() {
	SpewVsLitter_Person()

	SpewVsLitter_CueCtx()
}

func SpewVsLitter_Person() {

	type Person struct {
		Name   string
		Age    int
		Parent *Person
	}

	p := Person{
		Name: "Bob",
		Age:  20,
		Parent: &Person{
			Name: "Jane",
			Age:  50,
		},
	}

	fmt.Println("=== SpewVsLitter_Person()")

	fmt.Println("--- spew.Dump(p):")
	spew.Dump(p)

	fmt.Println("--- litter.Dump(p):")
	litter.Dump(p)
}

func SpewVsLitter_CueCtx() {
	ctx := cuecontext.New()

	fmt.Println("=== SpewVsLitter_CueCtx()")

	fmt.Println("--- spew.Dump(ctx):")
	spew.Dump(ctx)

	fmt.Println("--- litter.Dump(ctx):")
	litter.Dump(ctx)

}

This is the output

litter.Options{Compact: false, HidePrivateFields: false, HideZeroValues: false}.Dump(ctx)

by default, itter.Dump(ctx) does not show private fields.
