 Is it really standard to not display 's normally, but to stick a \ in
 front of them?  I don't see that much.

Standard or not, if you are going to do it, you really ought to replace
\ with \\, too.

Cheers,

Erm... this makes it less useful.  If there is a long variable, then 
it is saying something and you should see it.  I don't buy that it is 
destroying the total optical view on the table.  You can make it even
prettier by not displaying more than the first 50 characters, but you lose
even more information.
