It's intended as an internal debugging API. I find it very convenient for adding with a printf() here and there, which is how it got added long ago. It should really have a comment mentioning that it leaks the repr object, and starting with an _ wouldn't be bad either.

+1 on removal. Google only turned up a handleful of uses that I saw. n
