I implemented something vaguely similar to this as part of the Python
pretty-printing work.  I did not know about the frame-arguments
parameter, so I added a new "summary" flag in value_print_options, and
I have the pretty-printers print just part of complex structure
arguments.

So, I think your patch is reasonable (though it needs a doc update
:-).  I'll rework the pretty-printing stuff a bit to use
frame-arguments.
