Bug #1866 links to #1884, which does that.

The print/printf routines have worked for a few weeks now.  I don't
know whether Graydon intends to extend them to print arrays also.  The
new print code also makes more compact the elaborate reporting
routines used thus far, and importantly, rather reduces their
statement count.

I am unsure about how to estimate the very real cost of an array-print
operator.  Calling it approximately zero would make it into a
something like a DoS vector.  Intuitively, it should be proportional
to the amount of output generated, so it relates to bug #1885.
