 We have been hit several times in Django by this MySQL limitation when
 wanting to extend the length of some indexed char fields. One example is
 #19515.

 I suggest to automatically limit indexes when the size of the indexed
 field is too long to be completely indexed by MySQL. This auto-truncation
 would be limited to single-indexed fields, because I don't see trivial
 automatic rules when more than one field is indexed (proportional
 shortening, maybe?).
