Saiyang, thank you for the suggestion, but I'm going to decline.  The other 
referenced issue had to do with readability of otherwise incomprehensible 
output and that's what made it worthwhile.  In this issue, you're prioritizing 
round-tripping at the expense of readability.  To me, that is a step backwards. 
 Since people don't normally run eval() on the repr() of a Namespace, 
round-tripping should take a backseat to readability.  And, as you noted, there 
is already an option to set *dest* if needed.
