Who knows what are string representations of the objects in container;
there is a chance .encode() after repr() will escape or unescape the result
in a wrong way. I do not insist on anything (I think printable repr() and
repr().encode("unicode_escape") satisfy my needs) so I'm just pointing
there could be a problem; don't know how important it is.
