    Description

      Library `data.table`'s default print method intentionally truncates table output for speed, basically concatenating `head` and `tail`.

      In Zeppelin, this leads to poor alignment:

       

      ```

      %r
      library(data.table)
      DT = data.table(a = seq_len(1e6))

      DT

      ```

       

      I suspect this is the same issue as plagues matrix printing since `data.table` converts the object to be printed to a `matrix` first:

       

      ```
      %r
      m = matrix(NA, 1e4, 10)
      m
      ```
