Does "0x<hex(id(.))>" also have a performance problem? I seem to recall
your saying that a bit of work needed to be done to make id() unique,
and I thought I remembered that this work could be skipped whenever
id() wasn't used. That's all well and good since id() is not used all
that much, but __repr__ *WILL* be used all over the place. Of course, it's
likely my recollections are incorrect.
