%r is about the worst case for the new syntax relative to the old - two characters become 5. It's worth looking at what those extra characters buy us though:
However, those benefits are only realised some of the time, and it's only in rare cases that they're all realised at once. The cost-benefit analysis needs to take the entropy into account somehow.
