I have to ask. Why do we care? Is there a use for this information?  

If the structure itself is being returned, representing it as a scalar
value could lead to misunderstandings. Since we can check it is a
scalar or not, it should be noticed. In this meaning, I think "(trunc)"
is also good to me. (at least user can notice it)

OK, after thinking about this more, I agree that "(trunc)" is the better option.
