Not sure that would cover all situations, py.io.saferepr() would somehow have to serialise the full thing (which might be simply too much data) and the other side would have to then notice this and somehow figure out the right argument for the maxsize argument of saferepr. I'm sure there's a way of encoding all that but that but it's a lot of complexity and still won't solve the too much serialised data problem.
