Subject: bug#5122: Mismatched parentheses when dealing with hugebuffercontent

Another suggestion - when the limit is reached:

1. Don't highlight this "mismatch".

2. Display message stating that we hit the limit defined by the option.

3. Open the help buffer for the option.

#3 is the new part of the suggestion. It lets users get complete info about the
option, and lets them click to go to Customize to change the value (e.g.
temporarily).

Otherwise, they need to open *Messages*, get the variable name, and then use
`set-variable' or `M-x customize-option', to change the value.
