str(xrange(5)) actually looks _exactly_ like repr(xrange(5)), probably
because str() falls back to repr() if it is undefined.  Coincidentally
(or not), str(range(5)) look exactly like repr(range(5)) as well
(probably for the same reason).

The reason that they don't look alike is because when range(5) is
executed it returns [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] whereas xrange(5) returns an
xrange object.
