Description

t'would be nice if this also did truncation -- pass another argument with something like {truncate: 40}, and the url would be nicely truncated, with '…' === '\u2026' replacing the truncated text.

Ex.

humanize('http://example.com/a/cool/page/that-is-really-deeply/nested/', {truncate: 20}') -> 'example.com/…/nested'

humanize('http://example.com/a/cool/page/that-is-really-deeply/nested/', {truncate: 24}') -> 'example.com/a/…/nested'

humanize('http://example.com/a/cool/page/that-is-really-deeply/nested/', {truncate: 30}') -> 'example.com/a/cool/…/nested'

Or this could also be a separate module. module-requests ahoy?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing `humanize` function, then implement a `truncate` option that preserves the domain and replaces intermediate path segments with an ellipsis (`…`) to keep the total length under the specified limit.
