Not sure I'd like that, or at least not always / by default. That'd make
tasks become truncated or going on multiple lines in my case.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    ;; Number of clock tasks to remember in history.
    (setq org-clock-history-length 35)  ; 1 to 9 + A to Z
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
