            Hi. As soon as there is a max, some folks are going to want to trim values to that max to avoid dealing with exceptions. Is that an option?

            No. There has always been a max. It was 32 (and still is by default). If that is exceeded an exception is thrown. That behavior hasn't changed. The only thing changed is that the max length is no longer a constant.
