OK, my proposition would be used for a case where the last word(s) would
be for example filename or other 'not so important to show' information.
Due localisation to some languages, sometimes the infoprints get quite
large and long, it would be nice to print the most important info and
then ellipsize rest if it does not fit well. Do you think it would it be
possible to make 'priority' levels for textblocks using <markup>'s ?
