Comment(by rgommers):

 It's going to be a difficult sell to change the default behavior, because
 it will break doctests.  I like the idea though.  You could bring it up on
 the mailing list.

 I don't see a problem with adding an option for this. Changes that would
 be needed:

   - change set_printoptions and get_printoptions to toggle this behavior.
   - in _formatArray add the actual support, see the {{{summary_insert}}}
 argument.  Note that when the array dimension is larger than 1, this is a
 recursive function.  The actual size should be figured out in the {{{if
 rank == 1}}} block.
   - also make a change in array2string similar to set_printoptions.
