[issue39949] truncating match in regular expression match objects repr

[Quentin Wenger]

Quentin Wenger <wenger.quentin at bluewin.ch> added the comment:

File objects are an example of a square-bracket repr with string parameters in the repr, but no truncation is performed (see https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Modules/_io/textio.c#L2912).

Various truncations with the same (lack of?) clarity are done in the stdlib, see eg. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/04fc4f2a46b2fd083639deb872c3a3037fdb47d6/Objects/longobject.c#L2475.
