I like a lot this new feature.

I've developed a new method "short". An example:
{myrdtname.short("5")}

If the value for "myrdtname" is "GOOD MORNING", result will be: "GOOD ..."

You could use a second optional param to decide the string to use as
suffix. For example:
{myrdtname.short("7", ".")}
It'll return: "GOOD MO."

For me this function is very useful to create abbreviations or  truncate
long fields.

I send a patch attached to add this new method.
