[Cuis] #printStringLimitedTo:

[H. Hirzel]

Ken you ask about other options

one would be to have a method


#printStringLimitedTo:suffix:

so that people can have their own suffix.

Might be better in a multilingual environment.

However  '...etc...' is pretty general.

No objection if it stays as is.
