eval(repr(x)) == x

[Oren Tirosh]

For many python builtins eval(repr(x)) == x.  I find this property very 
useful for debugging and writing tests.  In some cases I write my own 
classes so their repr is an expression that recreates their state.

For some python builtins this could be true, but isn't.  Is there anyone 
else who thinks it might be more consistent if this applied to more 
builtins?  I'm mostly talking about objects that have a __name__ attribute 
like types, classes and functions.

The __repr__ function for these types could be something like this:
 
  def __repr__(self):
    return "%s.%s" % (self.__module__, self.__name__)
