Not lost; it just takes me some time to work through the patch backlog.  In 
the case of this particular patch, I'd like to find an alternative way to 
implement it, since this way involves hardcoding knowledge of the UI into the 
command implementation (which is currently UI-agnostic).  I'd prefer to keep 
the command implementation as-is, and have the truncation handled entirely 
within the UI code.
