[IronPython] What C# methods do __repr__ and __str__ use?

[Dino Viehland]

You'll want to implement the ICodeFormattable interface.  It looks like we don't pick up a method that's just named __repr__ right now.  I could see us fixing that but I wouldn't think it's a high priority unless someone finds implementing ICodeFormattable burdensome.

Anyone have an answer for this: I can't write C# code that has its own
method for use in repr(). Am I missing something?
