That was discussed and declined a while ago, see
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T126862>. Though I think the proposed
realization was presentational rather than functional. I'll have to re-read the
discussion, though.

Probably a silly question but ... did you all consider
creating a datatype for
molecue representation ? This seem to be a very similar usecase than mathematica
formula. Essentially we're not dealing with a raw string but a representation of
molecule formulas, with its own encoding ...
Changing the limit seem to be a poor workaround to a dedicated datatype - nobody
seems to have found a relevant usecase and it seem to me that we're essentially
abusing strings for storing blobs ...

External identifier then. Cool. And for string like in

<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P233>? Sebastian's initial
email
says 1500 to 2000. Is this still a good number after this discussion?
Yes, that would cover more than 99.9% of all InChIs in PubChem. (See
Sebastian's reply earlier in this thread.)
