[IronPython] repr() results with uint, etc.

[Jeff Slutter]

Ok, looking at the source, I see the issue in:

public static string Repr(CodeContext/*!*/ context, object o)

Is it safe to add these types in to there like:
            if ((s = o as string) != null) return StringOps.__repr__(s);
            if (o is int) return Int32Ops.__repr__((int)o);
            if (o is uint) return ((uint)o).ToString();
            if (o is long) return ((long)o).ToString() + "L";
            if (o is ulong) return ((ulong)o).ToString() + "UL";
            if (o is byte) return ((byte)o).ToString();
            if (o is sbyte) return ((sbyte)o).ToString();
            if (o is char) return ((char)o).ToString();
            if (o is Int16) return ((Int16)o).ToString();
            if (o is UInt16) return ((UInt16)o).ToString();
?
