Comment(by rbeezer):

 I find things like `use_dot=True` get complicated fast.  As the options
 and possibilities increase, the keyword management becomes a morass.

 I'd argue for

 {{{
 mat.str(zero=' ', plus_one='+', minus_one='-')
 }}}

 and think those three could be a good start.

 How about having our cake and eating it too?  One argument, and it is a
 dictionary, then use it for translations.  Keywords, with or without a
 dictionary, create over-riding entries of the translation dictionary.

 Then the code just checks for keys in the dictionary before setting an
 entry.

 This would be nice for adjacency/incidence matrices of graphs.

 $0.02 worth,
 Rob
