Is the reason why you do not call this "abbrev" because you are allowing it to truncate to a non-unique prefix?

If so, wouldn't it make more sense to treat this kind of string function in a way very similar to your earlier "padright"? I.e. "%(maxwidth:5)%(objectname)" or something?

If not, and if this is really an abbrev, then it makes sense to make it specific to the objectname, e.g. "%(objectname:abbrev=7)".
