# In the code below, "a.__str__()" does not default to "a.__repr__() as
# might be expected. It finds the "__str__" in the base class X. The
# Reference Manual, section 3.3.1, says:
# If a class defines __repr__() but not __str__(), then __repr__() is
# also used when an 'informal' string representation of instances of
# that class is required.
# If the reader is in lawyer mode, the documentation is correct.
# Is the current behavior what was intended? What should the behavior be?
