[issue2610] string representation of range

[Brad Miller]

Brad Miller <bonelake at gmail.com> added the comment:

The patch does not change the behavior of repr.  It modifies the 
behavior of str.

I agree that learning list/tuple sooner is better, but students who have 
never written a line of code before can only absorb so much information, 
this little patch allows them to print(range(100,0,-1)) and get a much 
better intuition about what is happening.
