You speak as though the title will be chosen without any regard for the
context it's used in, which I rather doubt.  Wouldn't people pick the
title for a \watch query so that it fits?  (In any case they could
force the issue by including a \n in their title...)


​True that.

​I don't have a strong opinion either way.  Having a single, condensed, title line would be nice though using two in order to not be cryptic has its own appeal.
