<upd_detl>In the text which I was reading the added entry above was used. The inclusion would help the novice to find the result.

Also, it seems that "首を長くする;首をながくする" gets about the same number of hits with a meaning of "to wait in expectation". Whether that should be a separate entry I am not sure.</upd_detl>
