Please extend this documentation to state explicitly that this
function preserves (does not truncate) the input string if it is wider
than 'width'. That's quite important information for the caller to
know.
(Aside: I could easily see this function being extended to support
optional truncation, but that's a separate topic, and something that
can be done by someone else when the feature is actually needed; it's
not your responsibility.)
