Preface: I'm not an MI user, but I do use varobj. This isn't a protest

I really don't like this. UIs will now display arrays (what about other
aggregate types like struct pointers?) this way, and in the context of
varobj, it provides no additional information that the UI isn't already
providing users:

+ my_array (int [10]) 0x12345678 <my_array>
