[print] cuts symbols after 78 characters and prints an asterisk.
I've tried with [rubyprint] and [display] and they can print a lot more
characters.
I think this mostly affects [print]. There are possibly other limitations
of length in Pd but those limits are very high -- at least much longer
than the classic limit of 255 characters per symbol in MAX :-}
