** Description changed:
As per the Buttons spec
"In the unlikely event that a button’s label is too long for the width
available, it should be ellipsized in the middle"
Currently the Label in ButtonForeground ellipsizes in the end.
Also quoting Matthew on the reasoning:
(1 Two buttons with long but similar labels are more likely to differ at
their ends than their middles (e.g. “Change This Event Only” vs. “Change This
And Future Events”).
(2 End ellipsis is already used to mean “you’ll need to do something else
after tapping this”.

+ event that a button’s label is too long for its maximum possible width,
+ it should be ellipsized in the middle (because the start and end are
+ more likely to be distinct between buttons), and a warning should be
+ logged for the developer’s attention.”
