Description
This must have been introduced into xr.set_options() somewhere around version 0.17.
First of all this limit breaks backwards compatibility in the output format with print() or something similar on the console. Second, the default of 12 is much too low imo and makes no sense, in particular since terminals usually have a scrollback buffer and notebook cells can be made scrollable.
I use print() frequently to check that all variables made it into the data set correctly, which is meaningless when lines are skipped with this default limit. And it broke my doctests that I wrote to do exactly that (thanks for that btw.). So if not removed, could the default be at least increased to a sensible number like 100 or 1000 or 10000? (I'd personally prefer much higher or even no limit, but I guess that is not an option.)
Cheers.
