[issue27541] Repr of collection's subclasses

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

This can break third-party code. For example the code that explicitly makes the repr containing a subclass name:

class MyStr(str):
    def __repr__(self):
        return 'MyStr(%s)' % str.__repr__(self)

I think the chance of breaking third-party code for bytearray or deque is smaller, since the repr is not literal.
