Currently, zero also means no truncation, keeping that meaning seems
important too. Perhaps a negative argument would be a better choice?
Excerpt from current docstring:
Optional argument INSERT-VALUE non-nil (interactively, with
prefix argument) means insert the result into the current buffer
instead of printing it in the echo area.
Normally, this function truncates long output according to the value
of the variables `eval-expression-print-length' and
`eval-expression-print-level'. With a prefix argument of zero,
however, there is no such truncation.
