The only other thing you'd want to handle is to cover inheriting from another
dataclass. e.g., if I have dataclass with
attribute a, and subclass it to add attribute b, I'd want both in the repr.
Good point. So auto-generate a new __repr__ if:
- one is not provided, and
- existing __repr__ is either:
- object.__repr__, or
- a previous dataclass __repr__
And if the auto default doesn't work for one's use-case, use the keyword
parameter to specify what you want.
