When printing a pointer, only elide the type for unnamed pointers.
Otherwise, we can run into situations where named and unnamed pointers
format the same way in indistinguishable ways.

When printing an interface, never explicitly skip printing the type.
Whether we skip printing the type should be determined by the
parent container type, and not locally determined.
For example, interface values within a struct, slice, or map
will always be elided since they can be inferred.
