 > My position has been either using VARCHAR(256) or providing a filter (so
 people can use whatever prefixing scheme they want.)

 On this changing the scheme is an option. I actually added a filter to my
 patch until I realised that if one person changed the format another
 plugin would lost all of its (long)entries. This would be perceived as WPs
 fault. I think it is best not to add a filter here.
