Matrix padding

I’m going to assume it’s fine to fix this, because there are other little annoyances I’ve found with padding too.

matrices don’t take string elision into account:

julia> ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" 0 0 0 0;0 0 0 0 0]
2×5 Matrix{Any}:
  "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ⋯ 23 bytes ⋯ "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  0  0  0  0
 0                                                                                         0  0  0  0

and when it thinks it should be shortening the matrix because of this it doesn’t actually remove any columns of the matrix:

julia> ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" 0 0;0 0 0]
2×3 Matrix{Any}:
  "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ⋯ 33 bytes ⋯ "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  …  0  0
 0                                                                                                      0  
0

edit:

I actually did find something that aligns both directions, complex numbers:

julia> [1039201 "string"; "test" 8888; 10 'a'; 1+im 1021-4im]
4×2 Matrix{Any}:
 1039201             "string"                                
        "test"   8888
      10             'a'
      1+1im     1021-4im

I think I can still overlap the columns if I’m careful about it though
