similar to that returned by the built-in function of the same name, but with
limits on most sizes.
+In addition to size-limiting tools, the module also provides a decorator for
+detecting recursive calls to :meth:`__repr__` and substituting a placeholder
+string instead.
+
+.. decorator:: recursive_repr(fillvalue="...")
+
+ Decorator for :meth:`__repr__` methods to detect recursive calls within the
+ same thread. If a recursive call is made, the *fillvalue* is returned,
+ otherwise, the usual :meth:`__repr__` call is made. For example:
+
+ >>> class MyList(list):
+ ... @recursive_repr()
+ ... def __repr__(self):
+ ... return '<' + '|'.join(map(repr, self)) + '>'
+ ...
+ >>> m = MyList('abc')
+ >>> m.append(m)
+ >>> m.append('x')
+ >>> print(m)
+ <'a'|'b'|'c'|...|'x'>
