    ChangeLog: Remove misleading statement.
    
    The deleted text was a relic of an early, never-pushed, and ultimately
    insufficient approach to solving the problem.
    
    Since we now bail out of abbreviating strings that contain potentially
    recursive escape sequences (more importantly for our purposes,
    "non-atomic" ones as handled by the `substring` request), we _could_
    continue to trim them in the middle as done before, but I developed
    second thoughts about the desirability of doing so.
