If they worked, I'd be happy to use them wherever they made my life 
easier. They don't work though, so the point is rather moot.

I think attempting it makes a reasonable case that the problem you raise 
*can't* be adequately addressed purely as a display issue though, 
indicating it may be time to reconsider how repr() works for strings as 
you originally suggested.

This is important information for a PEP writer to include to counter the 
arguments of anyone that initially has a similar attitude to the problem 
as I did.

Cheers,
Nick.
