Or is that crazy? If not, if someone was feeling really ambitious, maybe this could be developed into a general facility--provide a way for SWANK to send emacs an object that contains a short string and an id which emacs can then use to request a more elaborate string representation. Then on the emacs side provide a function to insert such an object into a buffer with appropriate overlays or properties or whatever to make the short string "live" so clicking on it or hitting a key while the cursor is in it causes emacs to replace it with the longer version.
Less ambitious people can try to tune their printer variables a bit. My settings are
*print-length* 10 *print-level* 4 *print-circle* nil
swank::*swank-pprint-length* nil swank::*swank-pprint-level* nil swank::*swank-pprint-circle* t
What's controled by which set of variables?
