I like it, assuming you can do a db dump of such a monster. I expect that no
one has bothered to implement that function fully. :-)

If you constrain the problem to "the longest character string that has some
real value other than being the longest character string," then you probably
get something like the best approximation of pi (but probably longer). I would
like to define such a string as a naturally occurring string, with "naturally"
being open to interpretation.
