So you don't want to be called a wimp anymore ?-)

Change repr() of a new-style class to say <class 'ClassName'> rather than <type 'ClassName'>. Exception: if it's a built-in type or an extension type, continue to call it <type 'ClassName>. Call me a wimp, but I don't want to break more user code than necessary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, if we're going to break user code, 3.0 is the time to do it. :-)
Could not find this in tracker, so http://bugs.python.org/issue2565
