I'm not sure whether this is reasonable to do or not, so I pulled this

Preface: I'm not an MI user, but I do use varobj. This isn't a protest or other demand for action, but I felt compelled to add my $2E-10, in hopes of coaxing other users to offer an opinion.


It is not too hard to fix varobj to disable this new setting, if that is
preferable for some reason.

I really don't like this. UIs will now display arrays (what about other aggregate types like struct pointers?) this way, and in the context of varobj, it provides no additional information that the UI isn't already providing users:


+ my_array (int [10]) 0x12345678 <my_array>
