OK, I can do that. It would be 11 characters: the six you used, plus two
for single-row matrices, plus three line-drawing characters. The latter
could be a separate string if you prefer. I'd make it one string because
I'm lazy, but that's a weak argument.

Ah, round parentheses. Personally, I much prefer these round ones as well.
I had the impression that in the USA especially, the square brackets are
somewhat more common. But that impression (based mostly on
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(mathematics) Wikipedia]) may be
wrong, and in any case the comparison with the LaTeX rendering is a strong
motivations to make things consistent and satisfy my personal preference
at the same time. We might of course let the user choose between these
alternatives, by allowing a string like `"round"` or `"square"` instead of
`True` for the keyword argument.
