Currently the standard Fortran's print *, A prints a 2D array A as a 1D list of numbers. Rather, I would like stdlib to have a function print_array (we can discuss a better name) that would print the array as NumPy:

>>> numpy.arange(10000).reshape(250,40)
array([[   0,    1,    2, ...,   37,   38,   39],
       [  40,   41,   42, ...,   77,   78,   79],
       [  80,   81,   82, ...,  117,  118,  119],
       ..., 
       [9880, 9881, 9882, ..., 9917, 9918, 9919],
       [9920, 9921, 9922, ..., 9957, 9958, 9959],
       [9960, 9961, 9962, ..., 9997, 9998, 9999]])

or Julia:

julia> B = [1 2; 3 4; 5 6; 7 8; 9 10]
5×2 Array{Int64,2}:
 1   2
 3   4
 5   6
 7   8
 9  10

Julia can also use nice unicode characters for ... and vertical ... if the array is too large.

Then we should use this function at

Then compilers can perhaps optionally use such print_array as default in the Fortran's language print statement.
