Example please? This is clearly a bug. It is also demonstrably not
the case in ordinary scenarios:
play=> create table a1234567890123456789012345678901234567890(f1 int);
NOTICE: identifier "a1234567890123456789012345678901234567890" will be truncated to
"a123456789012345678901234567890"
CREATE
play=> select * from a1234567890123456789012345678901234567890;
NOTICE: identifier "a1234567890123456789012345678901234567890" will be truncated to
"a123456789012345678901234567890"

play=> select * from "a1234567890123456789012345678901234567890";
NOTICE: identifier "a1234567890123456789012345678901234567890" will be truncated to

I have a vague recollection that we found/fixed one or more such bugs in
isolated contexts during 7.1 development, so the issue may be gone
already.
