Previously, printing e.g. ax.lines would show a bunch of <Line2D object at 0x...>. Now it's all hidden between an <ArtistList>, which is useful in itself (#18216); but displaying the length of the list (which is the main thing that could be seen from the [<Line2D object at 0x...> representation) is useful at least for debugging purposes.
