 I'm split on whether a warning (ie. triggering _doing_it_wrong()) would be
 useful or not.

 For end users, this warning would not be very useful. In my experience,
 plugins that set really long option/transient names usually involve some
 sort of dynamic component, so it may not show itself very easily.

 On the other hand, it would make it much easier for end users to complain
 to the plugin author, making him aware of the issues.
