        Standard short representation for objects, used for objects at

        representation is just the object's type between ``<>``s, e.g.
        ``<MyClass>``.

        This behavior can be overriden with a ``__hrepr_short__`` method
        on the object, or an entry in ``hrepr_object.type_handlers_short``.

            obj: The object to represent.
            cls (optional): The class name for the representation. If None,
                stdrepr will use ``'hrepr-' + obj.__class__.___name__``
            tag (optional): The tag for the representation, defaults to
                'span'.
