Add `sort_dicts` parameter to `reprlib.Repr`

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

reprlib.Repr currently sorts dictionaries by key when producing representations. However, sometimes the insertion order is meaningful. It would be useful to have a sort_dicts parameter, analogous to the existing parameter in pprint.PrettyPrinter & friends.

The proposed API is:

orepr = reprlib.Repr(sort_dicts=False)
orepr.repr(my_ordered_dict)

The default should be True to preserve the existing behavior.

A possible implementation is here:

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

I have already opened a thread under Ideas on discuss.python.org a couple days ago, but got no response (and therefore no objections *wink*).

reprlib.Reprから始めて、現在の辞書ソート動作を確認し、提案されたAPIをpprint.PrettyPrinterと比較してください。関連付けられたPR gh-155817を確認してください。完了条件は、APIがsort_dicts=Falseをサポートし、デフォルトのTrueによって既存の動作が維持されることです。
