 Hi Mekku,

 Can you provide an example use-case? I suspect there will be a way to
 accomplish what you want without requiring a change to core. For example,
 if you are calling `wp_trim_words()` directly in your theme/plugin, you
 could just include and use your own modified version `my_wp_trim_words()`.
 If you are wanting to modify the standard post excerpt to include certain
 HTML elements, you can make use of the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.0/src/wp-
 includes/formatting.php#L2557 wp_trim_excerpt] filter
