[IronPython] Minor bug in conversion of str to bytes?

Hello,
Lets create a bytes instance from a str, and convert it back to a str.
>>> a = bytes(ord(c) for c in "Hello World")
>>> a
b'Hello World'
>>> str(a)
"b'Hello World'"
As you can see, the leading b and the quotes become part of the string,
which is unexpected. I guess the conversion is using __repr__ where it
should use __str__.
Cheers,
Rob
