There is inconsistency between e.g. std::vector and std::string pretty
printers: the former respects 'print elements' limit, the latter doesn't.

Example:

--- cut ---
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
  //                      01234567890123456789012
  const char *const cs = "Mary had a little lamb.";
  vector<int> v;
  string s;

  for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    {
      v.push_back(i);
      s += cs;
    }
  return 0;  // break here
}
--- cut ---

## This is fresh svn sync of the latest pretty printers as of 5 minutes ago:
(gdb) py sys.path.insert(0, '/home/ppluzhnikov/Archive/gcc-svn/libstdc++-v3/python')
(gdb) py from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers
(gdb) py register_libstdcxx_printers (None)
(gdb) set print elem 5
(gdb) print v
$1 = std::vector of length 10, capacity 16 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4...}
(gdb) print cs
$2 = 0x40138e "Mary "...
(gdb) print s
$3 = 
    "Mary had a little lamb.Mary had a little lamb.Mary had a little lamb.Mary
had a little lamb.Mary had a little lamb.Mary had a little lamb.Mary had a
little lamb.Mary had a little lamb.Mary had a little lamb.Mary had a little lamb."
(gdb) q

Note how 'print elem 5' applies to both vector and 'const char *cs',
but the string is printed "in full".
