> The new repr is nice that it shows a preview of the data, but this can also become very long flooding your console output for larger tables.
> We already default to 10 preview cols, but each column can still consist of many chunks. So it might be good to also limit it to 2 chunks? 
> The ChunkedArray.to_string method already has a {{window}} keyword, but that seems to control both the number of elements to show per chunk as the number of chunks (while it would be nice to limit eg to 2 chunks but show up to 10 elements for each chunk).
