 On [http://ask.sagemath.org/question/303/displaying-matrices-with-instead-
 of-0 ask.sagemath.org], it has been suggested that we should be able to
 print matrices using `.` instead of `0`.  We could also use a space
 instead of `0`.  Perhaps we could print `+` instead of `1` and `-` instead
 of `-1` for a (1,-1)-matrix.  All of these could be implemented by passing
 optional arguments to the `str` method for matrices, for example
 {{{
     sage: mat = random_matrix(ZZ, 50)
     sage: mat.str(zero='.')
 }}}
 or
 {{{
     sage: mat.str(use_dot=True)
 }}}
 We need to figure out what options to allow for right now (although we can
 add more later) and what syntax to use for them.
