[issue39623] __str__ and __repr__ for asyncio.Task still omit arg values

[Andrew Svetlov]

Andrew Svetlov <andrew.svetlov at gmail.com> added the comment:

Not so easy to find a satisfactory generic approach.
An argument can also be 10 MiB length bytes array, a dictionary with 10,000 elements, HTML page, name it.
All these objects are printable but their representation is too verbose.
Task can have a dozen of arguments, only the latest may be meaningful for logically separating one task from others.

Task has a name exactly for the purpose of distinguishing similar but different tasks, please use it. Only the task creator knows how to name it better.
