The description of __repr__ in section 3 of the Language Ref
says " This should normally look like a
valid Python expression that can be used to recreate an object with
the same value."  This isn't true, isn't a good idea, 
and often isn't possible anyway.  Rewrite this to emphasize 
that repr() is usually for debugging.
