[New-bugs-announce] [issue27492] Enhance bytearray_repr with bytes_repr's logic

[Xiang Zhang]

New submission from Xiang Zhang:

Right now bytearray_repr's implementation mimics old string_repr, but it has a drawback: It arbitrarily checks overflow using four times the bytearray object's length, but the representation length of the value can range from 1 to 4. I think we can use bytes_repr's logic which calculates the actual output length.
