           Summary: Web Inspector: render arrays as dir in case they were
                    logged into console prior to the front-end opening.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: pfeldman at chromium.org

When the user code does console.log() of arrays prior to front-end opening, we dump them in expanded user-friendly manner:
[0,0,0]
[0,0,1]
[0,0,2]

However, if this is the same array modified and logged over and over, we confuse user via outputting its last state:
[0,0,2]
[0,0,2]
[0,0,2]

In order to avoid the confusion, I'm suggesting that we dump potentially outdated arrays using the "dir" representation, i.e.
Array[3]
