Could you explain why you want to do that?  Changing print-length is
likely to mess up other parts of Emacs, not just quickurl.el.

If you have code that needs to set print-length, the variable should be
let-bound over the minimum necessary piece of code.  Changing all the
places we need to `print' to let-bind print-length to nil would be
counterproductive.
