I just mean that removing non-whitespace characters is not formally
'formatting'.
I agree it is gray area.

Or simply expressions with too many tokens, regardless of nesting.

Is not it O(total number of lines) anyway? I do not see how a performance
could depend on that. If you are worried about the number of items found,
then I suggest to implement a generic limit of, say, 100 items.
100'th item should contain 'too many items found' text.
