Details:

Consider the following code:


mat=[ 1,2,3; 4,5,6; 7,8,9; 10,11,12 ];
disp(mat);


If you set a breakpoint at the second line and run the script, you'll see the
value of `mat` in Workspace view as


mat double 4x3 [ 1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6; 7, 8, 9; 10


This is hardly usable for 4x3 or larger matrices. One has to explicitly use
`disp` to show such values, and Workspace view becomes useless.
This looks especially miserable on hi-res screens like 3840x2160.

I'd suppose the view should print as many elements of matrices as it can fit
in its width. Or at least have a user-configurable limit for displayed element
count.
