For weakref.proxy, the behavior of proxy_print() in
"cooked" mode is inconsistent with the behavior of
proxy_repr(). "cooked" mode printing is used when a
value is displayed at the command line. Sample session:

>>> class C: pass
... 
>>> from weakref import proxy
>>> a = C()
>>> p = proxy(a)
>>> p
<__main__.C instance at 0x400e864c>
>>> print repr(p)
<weakproxy at 0x400e343c to instance at 0x400e864c>
>>>

The output should be the same in both cases.

(My suggestion: get rid of proxy_print. Might be a tad
slower in extreme cases, but gets this right with ease. :-)
