Hi Ethan,

In general, I would say that we don't provide any backward
compatibility warranties on the exact repr() output. In practice, we
attempt to not change it unless there is a good reason for that. IMO
in your case, it's justified. When float repr() was changed, it broke
tons of doctests :-(

You might document it somewhere in What's New In Python 3.10. Maybe near:
https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.10.html#changes-in-the-python-api
