Antoine only mentioned 'repr' as being an abbreviation for 'representation', just as 'qualname' will be an abbreviation for 'qualified name'. The "less ambiguous repr()" use case is just one minor aspect of the new qualified names, even if it's the most immediately visible, so using 'repr' in the attribute name would give people all sorts of wrong ideas about the scope of its utility.
