Comment:
New patch uses pgettext and takes on Jannis' suggestion of using a common
utility for truncation of strings (I've called the class `Truncator`, but
`Truncatorminator` would probably have been cooler :P).
For now, I've left the behavior of the truncate end-text to be backwards
compatible for the `truncatewords` and `truncatewords_html` filters (that
is, hardcoded strings of `' ...'`). There's a slight behaviour change
otherwise: we're dropping the space between the last truncated word and
the ellipsis.
Also, `truncatewords_html` doesn't really make sense to allow for the
translated ellipsis anywhere but the end, so it will always be appended to
the end, regardless of where it contains `'%(truncated_text)s'`
