This small patch adds support for an optional replacement when truncatewords or truncatewords_html is used. It defaults "..." for truncatewords, " ..." for truncatewords_html and returns input silently if comma should be used as a delimiter.

Updated properties to better reflect ticket status. Is there anything else that needs to be done here?

I really can't see that is widely useful. If there is a realy big reason why a particular project cannot use three dots as the continuation marker, it's trivial to write a custom version of the truncatewords filter.

Addding endless customisation options might seem like an easy thing to do, but it increases the maintenance burden and isn't always really scratching more than just an isolated itch. I think in this case, it's not worth including.
