Minor Description
It would be handy to have a String method that cuts out the middle part of a String such that as much as possible is kept from the start and end of the String, but the middle part is replaced by an ellipsis "..."
BeOS had a function like this, but it's poorly documented, missing examples:

e.g.:
A very long text with unimportant stuff in the middle but interesting start and end to see if the text is complete.
becomes:
A very long text...to see if the text is complete.
