I think global setting is not flexible enough. And I see no benefit to
customizable repr() except to keep compatible with Python 2, but I
think it is easy to migrate the existing code to the Py3k.
There's a bigger issue with trying to make whatever repr() does a codec
in Py3k. As a Unicode->Unicode transformation, it doesn't mesh well with
Py3k's strict Unicode->bytes/bytes->Unicode encoding/decoding philosophy.
That said, it would be nice to have a way to easily stack
Unicode->Unicode transforms on top of text IO streams, or byte->byte
transforms on top of binary streams.
Cheers,
Nick.
