A pager like this and better infrastructure for matrix-like printing is
something I've been meaning to tackle for a long time. Something that
DataFrames and other structures (Dicts, Lists of Lists, etc.) can easily
hook into and automatically get the same kind of nice truncated printing as
matrices, but also automatically get efficient printing in a built-in pager
(appropriate display widgets in IJulia would be great too).

The interface to paging could be the same as in the shell. I.e. you would
do this:

julia> arr |> less


and it would pop up a pager for you. Of course, you could also call it as
less(arr).
