Is there any way to make repr(aString) use double quotes?

I'm not sure that's so.  The OP wanted "just like" repr(), but with
surrounding double quotes rather than single quote.  That seems like an
underspecification of whether single quotes are escaped.  If left
escaped, the result is just as Python-friendly (albeit slightly less
human-eyeball-friendly), so the simpler version is not obviously wrong.

Yours, Lulu...
