In the official systems manual, and other tutorials online, pointer.repr prints 
the memory address of the pointer and the value it points to.

This is a direct copy from <https://nim-lang.org/docs/system.html#addr%2CT>
    
    
    var
      buf: seq[char] = @['a','b','c']
      p = buf[1].addr
    echo p.repr # ref 0x7faa35c40059 --> 'b'
    echo p[]    # b
    
    
    Run

However when I try to run this exact code on nim 2.0.2 on windows 10, this is 
the return:
    
    
    ptr 'b'
    b
    
    
    Run

my own code where I want to test copy vs move semantics of strings also has the 
same issue.

How can I get the same output as the manual?
