Adjust number of displayed lines in icon view

I was browsing through ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist the other day and saw this entry:

<key>MaximumLabelLines</key>
<integer>2</integer>
"Hmm," I say to myself, "Does this do what I think it does?" I changed the integer line to read 3, logged out, logged in, and yes, it works. In icon view, this key determines the number of lines displayed under (or next to) an icon in icon view mode. Useful for files with long names.
