 Currently, there is no way we can get the excerpt length whether the
 default or the filtered value.

 This will be useful when developers in some way need to get the post
 excerpt length.

 For now, developers can use something like the following to match the
 excerpt length with the of the site.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $excerpt_length = apply_filters( 'excerpt_length', 40 );
 }}}

 With the new function, developers don't have to remember to add the
 filter, they can just call the function and get the excerpt length that
 matches the rest of the site.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $excerpt_length = get_excerpt_length();
 }}}
