Stef,
In keeping with print==developer, display==user, the idea of the
developer representation is to quote the text so that it looks like the
literal syntax. At least that is what I have always thought it was
about. Does that help?

vw has also the printOn: versus displayString distinction.
But here the point to have ' inside the string (ie the printString of
the contained element ) does not make
too much sense to me.

Stef,
I suspect that Object Arts would favor #printOn:delimiter:. They would
also probably have a #displayOn:delimeter: method. Their approach is
that one 'displays' for users and 'prints' for developers; they
generally don't much like #as* methods, with the exception of true
conversion methods
