I was under the impression that for range, you still wanted to maintain the 
distinction between an evalable and a friendly representation.  If not, 
then ok, but I would then almost wonder whether to have both functions --  
until I remember the reason for two versions of string representation and 
your proposal (which I approve of) for both a full and abbreviated rep for 
classes.
