[issue2630] repr() should not escape non-ASCII characters

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

I'd be happy to have a separate more relaxed API for stackable codecs,
however, the API should not be overloaded on the .encode() and .decode()
methods on str and bytes objects.
