Why not just put the length in like static arrays? It's much more 
concise and gives more room for important information.

data	{length=20} [, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]	int[]

can just become

data	[, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 
5, 6, 7, 8, 9]	int[20]

If you want to make it look different from static then write it as

int[_20_] or int[=20=] or int[`20`] or ....


it saves at least 11 characters that can be used to show more 
elements and doesn't clutter up the values list with a lot of 
lengths.

 data    {length=20} [, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,
 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]    int[]

I have added an option to move the {length=nn} display into the type field.
