This seems like a good, future-proof way to handle things.

I believe that is what "console.dir" is for (poorly named from the Firebug
API):

  > var x = [1,2,3];
  > x.a = 4;
  > console.dir(x)
  Array
  0: 1
  1: 2
  2: 3
  a: 4

Sometimes printing objects requires a lot of scrolling for property/values
pairs that are really short (multiple could fit on a line). I like the
compactness of the Array printing.
