Yeah. As the person responsible for many of the "avoid truncation" works
referenced in the original patch, I have come to the conclusion that it

gigantic error message correctly, it's generally not very readable.

That's basically what I came here to say, and I was pleased to find that
you had already argued for it quite well. So I'll just add my support
for the direction you've taken the conversation.

Thanks! Truncation, then :)
