[wingide-users] stack data view doesn't display the return value of __repr__() for objects

[Wingware Support]

Interesting -- this sort of invalidates my response doesn't it? ;-) 
I'll look into whether I'm wrong about safety of calling __repr__ or 
whether we've got a potential bug showing it in the short view of 
locals().

Thanks,
