Description
If you try to put something like NMatrix.new([1600,1600], [1]*1600*1600) into iruby, it usually crashes on my computer.
Limiting the output of exponentially large to print objects might prove beneficial. We can have some kind of an option with which users can toggle this behavior.

Locate the IRuby output path responsible for rendering objects and inspect how user options are handled. Reproduce the NMatrix example, then define and verify a configurable limit that prevents excessively large output from crashing the session.
