Possible values are:

nil              - only the selected frame

to the max.  Usually, shortened channel names will remain unique for a
given set of existing channels.  When shortening to the max, the shortened
channel names will be unique for the set of active channels only.
Example: If there are two active channels #emacs and #vi, and two inactive
channels #electronica and #folk, then usually the active channels are
shortened to #em and #v.  When shortening to the max, however, #emacs is
not compared to #electronica -- only to #vi, therefore it can be shortened
