Comment (by obenland):

 Excerpts come with a few filters, that lets you do pretty much anything,
 if the default output doesn't work for your specific needs.
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.0/src/wp-
 content/themes/twentyeleven/functions.php#L349 Twenty Eleven actually uses
 one of them to modify it].

 There is `excerpt_length` and `excerpt_more` in
 `wp_trim_excerpt()`([https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.0/src
 /wp-includes/formatting.php#L2513 #]), and of course `get_the_excerpt` and
 `the_excerpt` in the excerpt template tags
 ([https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.0/src/wp-includes/post-
 template.php#L312 #]).

 Since it's so highly customizable through filters, it shouldn't really
 need additional arguments to achieve that.
