Thanks for spelling it out so clearly. I wasn't thinking clearly,
before.  I completely agree with you that the user should be the one
deciding if its "worth breaking the restriction".  Any calling code
would be saving restriction, if that is the intent.

+1 on simply widening the buffer, with an optional warning/error that
can be turned on or off with a variable.
