Where do you see that? I have:

 bool abridge = length > max_length;

That is not a practical concern as max_length is expected to be much larger than the replacement text. We don't need the added complexity of the "stretch" zone.

I'm open to changing the omitted text portion though, to include the number of characters omitted.
