FWIW, I think ellipsis can be quite useful in some situations. You'll
probably have better luck of this getting accepted if you:
* Attach a patch to an enhancement request filed in Bugzilla [1]
under product: Struts, component: Taglibs
* Inline the 4-odd lines of StringUtils.abbreviate code
* I've never liked the IllegalArgumentException so maybe have length
be the length without the ellipsis, thats upto you ;-)
