Description
hi - there appears to be a character limit for formulas in the power-fx cli (pac power-fx repl) and the formula is truncated - throwing an error.
If I run the same formula via pac power-fx run it works fine.
Do we need to provide an error message to the user when character allotment in power-fx repl exceeds the limit? thx!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a lengthy formula in pac power-fx repl, then compare the result with pac power-fx run using the same formula. Trace where REPL input is limited or truncated and determine how the user is informed when the limit is exceeded. Done means the behavior is understood and the limit is communicated clearly instead of producing an unexplained error.
