     * @param {number} [option.maxChars] - The maximum number of characters to display.
     * - Undefined values are treated as no cutoff.
     * - Negative values follow .slice() behavior and terminator will be added before the value.
     * - 0 will result in an empty string.
     * - If cutoff results in an empty string, no terminator is added.
     * @param {CutoffFormatStyle} [option.style='ellipsis'] - The style of the terminator.
     * @param {string} [option.terminator] - Optional override the terminator to use.
     * @param {string} [option.separator] - Optional override the separator to use between the terminator and the value.
     * - If no terminator is provided, then separator is ignored.
     *
     * @example
     * const format = new CutoffFormat('en', { maxChars: 5 });
