Comment(by iandrus):
Perhaps we could pass a map for how to display things like:
{{{
sage: mat = random_matrix(ZZ, 50)
sage: mat.str({0:'.',1:'+',-1:'-'})
}}}
Then we could map things arbitrarily. It might not as easy to remember or
use, but it would allow the user to do anything they wanted. I can't
think when it might be useful except perhaps to make matrices of group
elements more understandable or for a mathematical puzzle in which the
numbers are encoded as symbols.
Actually it might be useful to show some oft repeated but complicated
elements as a single letter like GAP does when displaying character
tables. For that to be really useful it would be best if it were
automatic, but that's probably too much to ask.
