If I were to encounter that case, I'd pre-format the strings
before sending them to Fl_Choice, as I can't imagine any way
the widget could visually show the entire string "correctly".
Options I'd consider for pre-formatting: truncate and append "..",
or pull data out of the middle of the string, and insert ".."
in place of the omitted text.
Then keep the original string either in a separate map,
or use the menu item's user_data as a pointer to the original
string. That way when the user picks the truncated item,
your app can still access the original string.
