[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] New pretty printer

   But other modules may have different display needs, so you can still effect a
   different piece of code.

   You could make this parameter a part of the state of an array.

That implies that precision and line width are properties of an
array. For precision this may be justified, but certainly not
for line width!

Such things really belong into a "system parameters" collection.
The closest Python equivalent would be the module "sys". But
that doesn't solve the problem of who is allowed to modify them
how and when.
