When one builds a chain name from variables like

@def &logreject($filename,$logprefix) = @subchain "lr--$filename--$logprefix" {

it can happen that the chain name gets too long. In this special case,
I would like to be able to truncate each of the variables like

"l...@left($filename,10)-...@left($logprefix,10)" {

so that the $logprefix variable is at least partly included even if
$filename is very long. This is for this use case substantially better
than an automatic truncation done by the subchain operator which would
potentially not include any part of $logprefix at all.

Greetings
Marc
