Display NTuples with more than one element as NTuples rather than Tuples?

This is really a taste/preference thing. Personally, I like the current print-up-to-three behavior; I often find three is used as a cutoff before eliding in many contexts.

If you just have a handful of commonly-used long types like that, you could export them from your package and then printing will use those shorthands:

julia> import BlockArrays, ArrayLayouts

julia> @eval BlockArrays begin
       const StepAxis = BlockedUnitRange{ArrayLayouts.RangeCumsum{Int64, StepRange{Int64, Int64}}}
       export StepAxis
       end

julia> T = BlockArrays.BlockedUnitRange{ArrayLayouts.RangeCumsum{Int64, StepRange{Int64, Int64}}}
StepAxis (alias for BlockArrays.BlockedUnitRange{ArrayLayouts.RangeCumsum{Int64, StepRange{Int64, Int64}}})

julia> Tuple{T,T,T}
Tuple{BlockArrays.StepAxis, BlockArrays.StepAxis, BlockArrays.StepAxis}
