The first question I have is: How would this work?

The goal of the Label is to display an ellipsis when the text is too

The goal of the Text control is to wrap the text to a new line when
the text is too long for the width.

How is this control going to decide when to display the ellipsis?
When it exceeds height? A fixed number of characters?

The answer to this question would help me, personally, decide how to
