17492	$text param in wp_trim_excerpt should be optional	batmoo	markjaquith	"According to the [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_trim_excerpt Docs], the {{{$text}}} param is required but ""if set to empty an excerpt is generated.""

Calling {{{wp_trim_excerpt();}}} (i.e. without the param) works, but throws a Warning.

It makes sense to default the {{{$text}}} param to empty and make it optional."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	3.3	General		normal	fixed	has-patch	batmoo
