            It was not possible to use a hash key `__pcore_type` in a hash as that would trigger the special handling during serialization. Now in Puppet 6.0.0, the special key has changed to `__ptype` and it is not also possible to use that as a key in a hash and still be able to serialize it (for example use it in a catalog).

            Description

            Using a Hash with the key __ptype will not serialize correctly as that is a reserved tag.
            There is already a mechanism in place to use an alternative representation when a Hash contains non JSON string compliant keys so the fix is simply to treat a hash with the key in question as one that has non-string keys as that will use the alternative encoding.
