Description Pascal Rapicault

It is not possible to set a detailed formatter on arrays (or any other primitive types) which in addition of being annoying does not provide the user with a consistent experience. 
What triggered that need? The need to find the index of an element in an array of more than 150 elements.

Me too! I like to format long values as Dates, because our applications use long datatype for date values. Or some of the int values have fixed mappings (e.g. 1 = monday, 2=tuesday, etc.).
