[issue3198] strings don't seem to roundtrip with repr()

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

repr() is supposed to round-trip with eval() for common types.

str() is the function that round-trips with the original type:

>>> x = 5
>>> x == int(str(x))
True
>>> x = "Test Text"
>>> x == str(str(x))    #  :-)
True
