In v3, the reprs were the main way to introspect the Parcels objects (also since the fields were quite hidden under the hood). Now that we work from datasets, this is less of a priority.
I propose that we remove all verbose reprs from Parcels, and instead have a .describe() method on FieldSet for users to request pretty summaries.
This is nicer since reprs are used everywhere, and often users aren't interested in this prettified output
