Hi,

If mat is a matrix of large size, it is displayed in a short form:

sage: mat
22 x 32 dense matrix over Finite Field of size 2 (use the '.str()' method 
to see the entries)


Then if I follow the recommendation,  

sage: mat.str()
'[1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0]\n[0 1 0

At this point, I feel offended. Why do we have this useless behavior for 
matrices? Why not just print the whole matrix even if it is huge? I guess 
no user prints a matrix just to know the size or the base ring. 

How about printing a matrix in the short form only if the matrix is sparse?
