Hi there

Has any decision or progress been made with regards to this this feature request? I really need this for my project.

In my production environment we need to OPTIMIZE a table quite often to ensure we do not run out of hard drive space. (Simply deleting unwanted/old entries from the table does not stop the table file to grow indefinitely.) The pt-online-schema-change tool works great, until I hit the FK constraint name length limit after optimizing a number of times.
