Is it an option of which I am aware, yes. Do I desire to use it, no. 
Will I use it? Perhaps, if \doboundtext cannot be repaired. The 
resulting page with \limitatetext has large rivers of white on the page.

But more likely I will look for a hack to use \doboundtext to trim the 
text before writing it to the list, even though it loses the flexibility 
of computing the width dynamically.

Can you point to what changed between the 20150325 version and TL15 to 
break this?
