This might not be the best way to do it, but the following has worked for
me in the past.
The output to the REPL is produced using display() (I think), so you can
use the following to get the same kind of output as a string:
julia> buf = IOBuffer();
julia> td = TextDisplay(buf);
julia> display(td, [1,2,3]);
julia> str = takebuf_string(buf)
"3-element Array{Int64,1}:\n 1\n 2\n 3"
If some has a simpler version I'd be grateful to see it as well.
