Comment:

 I think wp_trim_words() is already pretty complicated (3 arguments). This
 would also make it significantly more complicated, because it's not just
 about removing the call to wp_strip_all_tags() — it'd also be about
 trimming it to the correct number of words regardless of HTML tags, and
 then returning those words with the HTML tags in tact. (And with balanced
 tags, no less.) I don't want to mess with any of this in core as we have
 no use for it.
