Greetings earthlings,

Yeah, sometimes you have to edit code obviously written by someone
who prefers hacking on 160-column consoles (or something), w/
lines that stretch from sea to shining sea.  So mic-paren would
display an unseemly "Matches LONG-LINE", possibly causing the
minibuffer to twitch (more than it usually does).  That bites.

But no longer!  You can now set var ‘paren-max-message-length’ to
something sane -- e.g., ‘(- (frame-width) 10)’ -- and mic-paren
will happily eviscerate that LONG-LINE so that it displays most
primly and properly, as you speed forward towards the onramp of
understanding...  THAT should keep the bats at bay!

Don't believe me?  See:

 http://www.gnuvola.org/software/j/mic-paren/

and experience it for yourself.  (For best results do not use
mic-paren when unsmitten or unbalanced. :-P)
