Comment (by aubreypwd):
This was a little dismissive. I'm not questioning if documentation is
wrong or write, I'm saying that the expectation behind this function is
misleading and inefficient. I would expect if I passed a function called
`wp_trim_excerpt` some text it would trim what I sent it, or it would
always, at least, return a trimmed something. Why pass text to a function
that simply returns it back to me? It just makes no sense.
Maybe it should return the generated text (trimmed) and the parameter
should be deprecated since it does nothing except filter it.
