Some live news from the classroom. A student (who is learning python and xarray at the same time) wanted to compute the minimum of an array and forgot the parenthesis (quite a common mistake).

The printout in the notebook in that case is:

```python

ds.toa_sw_all_mon.min <bound method ImplementsArrayReduce._reduce_method.\<locals>.wrapped_func of \<xarray.DataArray 'toa_sw_all_mon' (month: 12, lat: 180, lon: 360)> [777600 values with dtype=float32] Coordinates: * month (month) float32 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0 11.0 12.0 * lat (lat) float32 -89.5 -88.5 -87.5 -86.5 -85.5 -84.5 -83.5 -82.5 ... * lon (lon) float32 -179.5 -178.5 -177.5 -176.5 -175.5 -174.5 -173.5 ... Attributes: long_name: Top of The Atmosphere Shortwave Flux, Monthly Means, All-... standard_name: TOA Shortwave Flux - All-Sky CF_name: toa_outgoing_shortwave_flux IPCC_name: none units: W m-2 valid_min: 0.00000 valid_max: 600.000> ```

which, I had to agree, is hard to identify as being a function. It's a detail, but is it necessary to print the entire repr of the array/dataset in the function repr?
