Description

I want StructArrays to be shown like Arrays, but overloading this doesn't help:

Base.show(io, x::StructArray{T,T1,T2,T3}) where {T, T1,T2,T3} = Base.show(io, Array(x))

Research direction

Start by investigating how StructArrays currently implements Base.show and how Julia displays ordinary Arrays. The issue does not name a source file or test, so locate the relevant display methods and establish expected output before making StructArrays render like Arrays.
