[issue18723] shorten function of textwrap module is susceptible to non-normalized whitespaces

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Correcting myself:

> i.e. it should not affect the placeholder's own spaces.

... except for leading whitespace in case the placeholder ends up alone in the result.
i.e. shorten("somethingtoolong") should return "(...)", not " (...)".
