+set print characters LIMIT
+show print characters
+ This new setting is like 'set print elements', but controls how many
+ characters of a string are printed. This functionality used to be
+ covered by 'set print elements', but it can be controlled separately
+ now. LIMIT can be set to a numerical value to request that particular
+ character count, to 'unlimited' to print all characters of a string,
+ or to 'elements', which is also the default, to follow the setting of
+ 'set print elements' as it used to be.
+
+print -characters LIMIT
+ This new option to the 'print' command has the same effect as a temporary
+ use of 'set print characters'.
