Here's my idea. repr() cannot convert 'unprintable characters', since repr() doesn't know which characters are printable or not. So, repr() should convert only non-printable "ASCII" characters and special "ASCII" characters such as '\n". Other non-ASCII characters are converted by output file. Output files can convert non-printable characters to \uXXXX. Such conversions could be implemented by backslashreplace error handler. I wrote a quick patch.
