 In addition to the existing behavior of wp_privacy_anonymize_data(
 'email', $email_address) which returns deleted at site.invalid, it would be
 useful, e.g. for debug logging to have another type that would return
 pseudonymized email addresses that retain a little bit of the original
 address, e.g.

 my-mailbox at mailprovider.com.ca could be come
 m*********@****************.ca

 Where the number of * corresponds to the letters removed, and only the
 first letter of the email address and the TLD are retained.
