In general, the output of repr(x) is supposed to be an executable Julia expression that evaluates to x. I just fixed the same issue in MultiFloats.jl and realized it also exists upstream in SIMD.jl.
You can see the approach I took to fix this problem in commit c996294. Basically, instead of overloading Base.show(::IO, ::MultiFloat) directly, I separately overload Base.show(::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", ::MultiFloat) and Base.print(::IO, ::MultiFloat) to print the pretty representation of a MultiFloat, which lets the default Base.show implementation print the ugly-but-executable representation. This still prints the pretty representation in functions like string and println and the Julia/IJulia REPL.
In fact, feel free to use my code for showing a Vec:
show(io, Vec{N,T})
write(io, "((")
for i = 1:N
if i > 1
write(io, ", ")
end
show(io, vec[i])
end
write(io, "))")
