We do agree with that. Making it work in the way that does not disturb people when a 10mb bytes string is passed is challenging. We could just cut everything after 100 characters, but it's not an ideal solution either.

So make it useful. You can concatenate critical arguments reprs to task names or make them informative in other way.  If you're working with a third-party library that doesn't use task names consider making a PR.
