New submission from Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com>:
With the recent (and ongoing) change to string annotations, it's no longer obvious what the type of a field is (normal, ClassVar, or InitVar).
I propose exposing the heretofore undocumented _field_type to the repr. Instead of writing it directly, I'm going to make it say one of:
_field_type=_FIELD
_field_type=_FIELD_CLASSVAR
_field_type=_FIELD_INITVAR
This is because it's an object reference, and would otherwise look like:
_field_type=<object object at 0x10cc5f1f0>
Which is all but useless.
