[issue5587] vars() no longer has a use __repr__

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net>:

The vars() builtin now returns a hard to view object.  Formerly, it had
a useful __repr__.


Python 3.1a1 
>>> class A: pass
>>> vars(A)
<dict_proxy object at 0x0131FE70>



IDLE 2.6.1      
>>> class A: pass
>>> vars(A)
{'__module__': '__main__', '__doc__': None}
