I think that it will be fairly common (e. g. everyone using lsp-mode)

will have to use that setting. I am afraid that even if I choose option 1

the distributions like spacemacs/doom will set it globally(because they

are allowed to be opinionated).

When you create a process you provide a bunch of settings(e. g.

:connection-type, :filter, :no-query). Can we make another property for

the read max size?

Thanks,

Btw, my assumption was that the value will have to be changed from
default only in very rare situations. If this is not the case, we
might indeed want that to be a parameter at process creation time (I
don't think we have process-local variables, do we?).
