It may be nice to take advantage of labels to show a different, labeled repr - especially for more than 3 dimensions, I personally find the the numpy array one hard to read.

Some sample data and the current repr

``` python

In [103]: d = xr.DataArray(np.arange(200).reshape((2,5,2,10)), dims=('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'), ...: coords={'a': ['A', 'B'], 'b': ['Cat 1', 'Cat 2', 'Cat 3', 'Cat 4', 'Cat 5'], ...: 'c': ['J', 'K']})

In [104]: d Out[104]: <xarray.DataArray (a: 2, b: 5, c: 2, d: 10)> array([[[[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], [ 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]],

    [[ 20,  21,  22,  23,  24,  25,  26,  27,  28,  29],
     [ 30,  31,  32,  33,  34,  35,  36,  37,  38,  39]],

    [[ 40,  41,  42,  43,  44,  45,  46,  47,  48,  49],
     [ 50,  51,  52,  53,  54,  55,  56,  57,  58,  59]],

    [[ 60,  61,  62,  63,  64,  65,  66,  67,  68,  69],
     [ 70,  71,  72,  73,  74,  75,  76,  77,  78,  79]],

    [[ 80,  81,  82,  83,  84,  85,  86,  87,  88,  89],
     [ 90,  91,  92,  93,  94,  95,  96,  97,  98,  99]]],


   [[[100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109],
     [110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119]],

    [[120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129],
     [130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139]],

    [[140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149],
     [150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159]],

    [[160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169],
     [170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179]],

    [[180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189],
     [190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199]]]])

Coordinates: * a (a) <U1 'A' 'B' * b (b) <U5 'Cat 1' 'Cat 2' 'Cat 3' 'Cat 4' 'Cat 5' * c (c) <U1 'J' 'K' * d (d) int64 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

```

The labeled repr could instead look something (not exactly) like this?

``` <xarray.DataArray (a: 2, b: 5, c: 2, d: 10)>

a: 'A' b: 'Cat 1' c x d: 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 K 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

a: 'A' b: 'Cat 2' c x d <repeat> ...

Coordinates: * a (a) <U1 'A' 'B' * b (b) <U5 'Cat 1' 'Cat 2' 'Cat 3' 'Cat 4' 'Cat 5' * c (c) <U1 'J' 'K' * d (d) int64 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ```
