Not a boolean, because even if there is no reason for users to change the 
number, there are at least three useful values: always disabled, enabled 
iff the buffer contains long lines, always enabled.  Which you can get now 
by setting the variable to nil, 10000, and 0.

I'm also pretty sure we would have bug reports if what a "long line" is 
was hardcoded.  So from my point of view the variable is fine as it is.
