Summary: pprint should handle subtypes of dict/list/tuple

Initial Comment:
I often implement subclasses of dict, list, tuple, etc and it's 
annoying that I can't use pprint on them.  I suggest that 
instead of using this pattern:
type(something) is dict

it should use:
type(something).__repr__ is dict.__repr__

This is a duplicate of http://www.python.org/sf/750542. In
Python 2.4 subclasses of dict/list/tuple will be pretty
printed as long as they don't overwrite __repr__.
