Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to add an option to limit the number of characters printed in a tibble.

I set pillar.min_title_chars to a lower number, and then the column with a long text and a short column name takes up all the space.

I was wondering if it was possible to limit the number of characters printed, like with decimals.
pillar.max_dec_width

Thanks

Also would be great for glimpse().

A long variable may make the summary less informative.

mtcars |> dplyr::mutate(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx = 1) |> pillar::glimpse()

The long variable removes information from glimpse() output..

Thanks. Yes, this sounds reasonable. What should the default be?
