Description

Grigory Sarnitskiy reports: 

Hello! I'm using repa 2.1.1.5, so maybe this issue is gone already.

Nevertheless, repa's Show instance is a bit ambiguous, e.g. show of Maybe (Array DIM1 Int)

"Just Array (Z :. 1) [...]"

Wouldn't it be better to have

"Just (Array (Z :. 1) [...])"

just like elsewhere in Haskell? For example

show $ Just $ Just 5
"Just (Just 5)"

Fixed as we just used deriving Show for manifest arrays.
