Comment (by sc0ttkclark):

 I think for MD5, what we could do is check if chars are over 40, then
 substr all characters after the 8th one, and md5 it, so it remains within
 the 40 character limit. That way there's a nice blend of having the
 ability to see the transients in the DB when debugging, you'd see
 something like my_tests41c5e5a98711f4c6a8b52606c47f9f61 in place of
 my_testsomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg
