Probably a silly question but ... did you all consider creating a datatype
for molecue representation ? This seem to be a very similar usecase than
mathematica formula. Essentially we're not dealing with a raw string but a
representation of molecule formulas, with its own encoding ...

Changing the limit seem to be a poor workaround to a dedicated datatype -
nobody seems to have found a relevant usecase and it seem to me that we're
essentially abusing strings for storing blobs ...
