Let the user set visual preferences such as:

max width of tag name displayed
whether the VR is shown or not
whether UI's are shown as descriptive names (if available) or dotted numbers
whether file position is shown at start of line
max depth of nested structures to show

dataset.formatted_lines() function provides functionality for this issue, but needs documentation and testing.

Merging issue 29 into this one, as it involves output formatting: "Attribute class str() display usually truncates large items. But if multi-valued (a list) then len(value) can be small (the number of items in the list) but the printed list very large. Saw this in Senographe file with LUTs. Need to check the overall length of the output in case of lists."

Another thought: perhaps contexts (python >2.5 I think) might be a useful way to configure printing, as is done in the Decimal module (but hopefully not so unwieldy as that).
