I suggested a choice, one possibility being a format string. A format string also lets you truncate. But sure, another choice offered could be what you suggest (a simpler way to specify just truncation). I made the suggestion in an emacs-devel thread, which hasn't been referenced so far in this bug thread: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-05/msg01851.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-05/msg01964.html
