--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Well, now we're in that awkward situation where user A asks for something
reasonable, and we implement it, and user B says it's a regression for them,
also using reasonable arguments.

So our options are to:
- Revert the change and make user A mad
- Tell user B to live with it, making them mad
- Somehow make it configurable, cluttering up the UI with options 99.9% of
people will never care about (though maybe this could be mitigated by putting
it in a context menu somewhere)
- Implement a complicated heuristic to guess which elision mode will be more
useful based on the text, running the risk of trying to be so smart that it
ends up dumb and satisfies nobody

Elvis, what are your thoughts? As you're the maintainer, I'll abide by your
decision.
