I think that means: Suppose you do want the output "29 x 29 dense matrix over Integer Ring", but you are inside a function. If inside the function you said "M", nothing would appear; if you said "print M", then (according to my original suggestion) everything would be shown, although this time you don't want it. You could do "print M.__repr__()" inside the function, but that's not nice. A configuration object would be a nice thing to have. And perhaps *additionally* a display method that shows the matrix no matter what.
