Changed first line of repr docstring from "Create a string from any value ..." to "Create a string representation of any value ...".

This function is referenced in the manual on output functions, but I could not find what it stands for or means. I thought it was a typo of "repl" until "representation" finally came to me. I'm assuming that is the intent of the function name?

Changed "Create a string from any value ..." to "Create a string representation of any value ...".
