Executive summary (details and discussion points below) ================= Some time ago, Noam Raphael pointed out that for a float x, repr(x) can often be much shorter than it currently is, without sacrificing the property that eval(repr(x)) == x, and proposed changing Python accordingly. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1580
Sounds good to me!

"...string iteration isn't about treating strings as sequences of strings, it's about treating strings as sequences of characters. The fact that characters are also strings is the reason we have problems, but characters are strings for other good reasons." --Aahz
