For the tutorial I would just replace the “repr” heading with “srepr”. But in the docs for srepr it should have the discussion about the repr builtin\r\n\r\nWe should rename the `repr` section in the tutorial to `srepr`, and add some in-depth discussion (basically what I wrote above) to the `srepr` docstring, which appears [here](http://docs.sympy.org/dev/modules/printing.html?highlight=srepr#sympy.printing.repr.srepr).
