Maybe instead of boolean better to use a number for the allowed limit
that should not grow more than this number that means the length of
switches string that the user can tolerate on the modeline.
Then modeline will display abbreviation truncated to the specified
number of characters, with an ellipses, on the assumption that
the most important switches are at the beginning of the string.
Customizing it to 0 effectively disables the display of switches.
