Use case

When displaying file-paths, I'd prefer to show the file-name and clip the file-path.

In this example, it's not possible to see the filenames:

Text(
  '/root/sdcard/storage/camera/2019-11-20 12:12:11 a-file-with-a-long-path.png',
  overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
)

Screenshot 2019-11-21 at 10 47 04

Proposal

Allow TextOverflow to clip text on the leading edge rather than the trailing edge.

Internal bug - b/180975303

Give it a 👍🏻 (as they prioritize based on thumbs up count) and hope someone will get to fix it.
