"I don't see how eval()able repr is a big deal. Most reprs aren't, ..."

Sometimes, I wonder if we're even talking about the same programming language.  Historically, a good deal of effort has gone into creating evalable reprs, if only because they accurately describe an object and because they teach users how to create similar objects.  

But it only takes one committer who doesn't care about evalable reprs to permanently break the pattern for everyone :-(
