Another way would be to have an non-wrapping display mode: each line of 
a matrix (or anything else) would be displayed on a single line in the 
console, without wrapping. This could make hugely wide lines, that 
nevertheless could be easily browsed using the horizontal scroll bar. In 
addition, such a mode could enable displaying columns numbers in header 
; this could be repeated every console_height lines.
Specifying a negative console width could trigger this behavior.
