Follow-up Comment #3, bug #49979 (project octave):

I prefer Octave's cell array output by default, showing the contents. This is
similar to the intentional difference in struct arrays (configurable with
struct_levels_to_print).

If people want truly compatible output, maybe there could be a similar
configuration option, cell_contents_display, that could be set with the
--traditional command line option.

The major drawback with Octave's approach is bug #33383. Octave's core should
be in charge of how the cell array is formatted (whether it shows indices in
brackets or not, whether it shows a value in brackets or not, or whether it
just shows a dimension), and each element should be in charge of only how its
value is displayed. That may have changed with bug #49794, I haven't been
following developments in the past month or so.
