Sure. I'd not be able to actually do anything useful with a gigabyte single-line file so what I'd want my editor to do is say "Longest line is over 100k characters, truncating display to the first 100k".

issue is that the editor can't tell if it's a multiline file with a first big line or an editor with one big line if it's cut at the first line. But I'd rather have the editor bail at the first 100k line than not opening it.
