I thought char-displayable-p worked based on the current frame?  Which
is what we'd want in a truncate-string-visually function (or whatever
it'd be called).  But having that function take an optional frame
parameter wouldn't help with the initialisation of the
'truncate-string-ellipsis' variable (a variable I think is misguided)...
