This idea is already casually mentioned, but sank deep into the threads
of the discussion. Raise it up.
Currently reprs of classes and functions look as:
>>> int
<class 'int'>
>>> int.from_bytes
<built-in method from_bytes of type object at 0x826cf60>
>>> open
<built-in function open>
>>> import collections
>>> collections.Counter
<class 'collections.Counter'>
>>> collections.Counter.fromkeys
<bound method Counter.fromkeys of <class 'collections.Counter'>>
>>> collections.namedtuple
<function namedtuple at 0xb6fc4adc>
What if change default reprs of classes and functions to just full
qualified name __module__ + '.' + __qualname__ (or just __qualname__ if
__module__ is builtins)? This will look more neatly. And such reprs are
evaluable.
