Comment (by MikeHansenMe):

 Happy to write a few more unit tests. The current state is that it saves
 the option/transient but truncates it if too long. Then when you go to
 retrieve it it returns false because it(the long one) does not exist. The
 previous patch would return false, not allowing it to work. I am ok with
 that however wouldn't it be a better developer experience if it just
 worked? The reason I added the md5 to the end of the prefixes is to
 indicate that something else happened than the default. As for breaking it
 out. I am ok with that however it is only a few lines of code and it is
 not always the same number of characters.
