Proposal: Add Str::limit method

[martialblog]

This method truncates the given string to the specified length. Use cases are long titles and descriptions in text shown to the user, that would overload the screen.

Example:

$title = Str::limit('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.', 10);

$title == 'Lorem ipsu...';

I often find myself in need to truncate output such as titles and descriptions. Adding this to the stdlib would be nice, so it can be reused.

Might also be useful in existing Modules, for example:

That's usually a job for the browser. The reason is that it knows the user's device and its screen size or window size. The backend cannot impose useful constraints to displayed text. It's either often too long or too short if done this way.

We have the .text-ellipsis() mixin as part of ipl-web, hence I see no real advantage for this method in the Str class here.

Good to know. Didn't know that existed and how to find it.
