Hi Nick,

Thanks for addressing the issue.

As a heavy user of readelf, truncated symbol names have caused some trouble to
me in the past so I now alias my `re` to readelf -W (--wide).

About the new -T/--silent-truncation option, I wonder whether the truncation is
important enough that deserves a short option... When a truncated symbol name,
it almost certainly means the user has to add --wide and rerun readelf if they
want to base their decisions on the symbol name (e.g. objdump -d ... | grep
$symbol_name_extracted_from_readelf). I don't know whether a short option -T
will help them..
