Summary

We have some dataclasses with a lot of fields, and the reprs can be a bit overwhelming, especially when included in logs/warnings/exceptions.

Request is for reprs to exclude fields where their value is == the field default.

KwargDefinition (and subtypes) and the OpenAPI spec models are examples of types that would benefit from this.

Basic Example

ParameterKwarg(examples=None, external_docs=None, content_encoding=None, default=<_EmptyEnum.EMPTY: 0>, title=None, description=None, const=None, gt=None, ge=3, lt=None, le=None, multiple_of=None, min_items=None, max_items=None, min_length=None, max_length=None, pattern=None, lower_case=None, upper_case=None, format=None, enum=None, read_only=None, schema_extra=None, annotation=<_EmptyEnum.EMPTY: 0>, header=None, cookie=None, query=None, required=None)

vs

ParameterKwarg(ge=3)

Drawbacks and Impact

Pros: easier to parse and reason about.
Cons: maybe some users prefer the verbosity.

Unresolved questions

Could changing the reprs of these things be considered breaking??
