It's not exactly the answer you're looking for, but this is precisely
the kind of scenario my "softfill" patch is made to address. This patch
implements the "%* " notation, which is analogous to "%> " but gives
precedence to the right side instead of to the left when the fill length
is zero. With a long subject, the subject would be truncated enough for
anything to the right of "%* " to render in full.
