In addition to the 256 character limit?

True.  I usually do dislike artificially imposed limits even when I
can't think of a good reason why a comment leader larger than 20
characters would be useful...  so a workaround would be nice...  Hrm...

Okay.  I can deal with that.  In fact, I tihnk I may drop the default
limit to 20 characters, then, as a workaround is available for those
who wish to use it.
