This is an alternative to Inspect.TraceData.Printer (the usual printer used by Inspect[...], which differs only in that it avoids printing recursion ids for objects and arrays directly.
Instead, it maps recursion ids onto sequential numbers, printing the first unique object/array as #1, the next as #2, etc.
This can be used for when the printed output needs to be used in a test suite, where the pointer-derived recursion ids would otherwise cause non-determinism in the output.
