I would like to add new option to "Trim the length of this field"

Image you have a text like this:

The standard release of Drupal, known as Drupal core, contains basic features common to content management systems. These include user account registration and maintenance, menu management, RSS-feeds, page layout customization, and system administration.

Drupal is also described as a web application framework, as it meets the generally accepted feature requirements [[[[900 characters here]]]] for such frameworks.

And the rest of the text is

for such frameworks.

It would be nice display all the text, after all this is a really short string and users are often frustrated to see that what they didn't saw was just a single line.

I guess if it's a number 0 as default makes sense.
