- ***N -*** number of scalars in array
- ***idx -*** array of scalars
- ***viewer -*** location to print array, `PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_WORLD`, `PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_SELF` or 0

This may be called from within the debugger


## Developer Note
idx cannot be const because may be passed to binary viewer where byte swapping may be done
