Description
MWE:
julia> using DataStructures
julia> MutableBinaryMinHeap(rand(Int, 10000))
[ ungodly long list of integers ]
Presumably, middle elements of a long heap should be elided. Even better, perhaps heaps could be displayed similar to Vectors or Sets in a nice fashion in the terminal. I can make a PR at a later point if I figure out how Base.show works.

Research direction
Start by examining Julia's Base.show behavior for MutableBinaryMinHeap in the REPL and compare it with how Vectors or Sets display long collections. Done means long heaps elide middle elements or otherwise use a concise terminal representation without printing every value.
