I wrote up a patch that could do the trick. Sadly, it requires a behavioural
change in NumberElement to return repr(value) for str(). Not that beautiful.
I'm just posting it to give you an idea about what looks like a viable
approach to me.

I'll try to get 1.1.2 out tomorrow, so unless I get convinced by then that
this is a sufficiently solid idea, this will have to wait for the next release.
