What inspired this wish list request? This is inspired because JMP classes have special REPR functions (_to string_ and _show_) that are quite nice. I work with many namespaces that exist hierarchically -- as it, they refer to each other via child / parent relationships -- and if I accidentally cause one to be printed to the log then JMP will effectively crash as it attempts to write tens of billions of lines to the log (a few times I waited many hours to avoid lost work).
What is the improvement you would like to see? If namespaces had a REPR override then it would be very nice! If I have either the name _show_ or _to string_ within the namespace, I'd like it to use those names just like classes use.
Why is this idea important? For me it is important because I use namespaces extensively, and primarily when errors are throws if I could easily print the current namespace and have it show a descriptive REPR that I've implemented that would be awesome, but mostly I don't want JMP to effectively crash when I accidentally print the raw namespace (again, because it circularly refers to many dozens / hundreds of other namespaces)
