Comment:
Design decision (based on in-person discussion between some maintainers
and "some" mailing list dicussion): we will add such a filter. It will be
written like utils.text.truncatewords so that the truncate filter can be
replaced with a user's own, but with different ellipsis sequence. The
default ellipsis sequence will be marked as translatable. It must operate
on unicode strings, not treat them as bytes. In fact, it must use Python's
unicodedata library to evalute combining characters correctly w.r.t.
length.
