Could someone please add a global variable (eg $wgTruncatedCommentLength) for specifying the length that long summaries or auto-summaries are truncated to? There's three places in Article.php where this is done in the functions getBlankingAutosummary(), getAutosummary() and the end of delete().
Note that they should all be truncated to the defined field length (255 bytes) fairly consistently, but it wouldn't hurt to use a global var here, per http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?MagicNumber :)
