A few thoughts:
* no one has ever made a request for this
* different people may want to do it in different ways
(the formulas are hard-wired).
* the '...' connector is hardwired
(perhaps ' ... ' would look less odd).
* we should have a preference for keeping APIs small
(more to learn and remember)
* this is dirt simple string processing and not hard
for people to roll their own if the need arises
* if the API were to be expanded, perhaps it should
be as a part of a focuses, thoughtful effort to
provide a more generic set of text formatting
transformations perhaps modeled on deep experiences
with similar modules in other languages.
(as opposed to piecemeal additions that weren't
designed with a coherent vision). |
