Thinking more about it, I find the current repr (both text and html) already quite dense and I'm wondering if this couldn't be the opportunity to clean it a little bit.

For example, the inline array repr would be only for showing the values (if directly accessible, otherwise ...) and a very compact description of the underlying array objects (assuming that we could easily retrieve that information), e.g.,

my_var (x) float64 ... [p-u-d-s-c]

For any additional data/metadata, we have collapsed sections for the html repr (toggleable using the icons). For the text repr, we could have additional display options like display_var_attributes=False, display_array_summary=False, display_data_repr=False, etc.

It might be rather opposite to what you want to achieve @keewis, but I think a cleaner repr with hidden sections (or turned-off display options) by default would make sense if 80% of Xarray users are dealing mostly with numpy arrays.

(sorry my comment is slightly off-topic).
