Related Issue:
The change being made in this PR was proposed and agreed during the weekly general call on 29th October. I undertook to implement this change because it represents a more general way to achieve something that I had done in a less general way in recents PRs.
Description of changes:
This PR introduces a
long_string
object which can be used as a type for attributes that hold string values that are potentially very long. Examples of such strings include the content of an executed script, or the names and values of environment variables. Such strings are likely to be truncated by security products for reasons of transmission and storage efficiency.
