Feature Request: An option for how the top element is truncated

[akiomik]

Thank you for creating this awesome library!

As noted in the comments below, the top item may look a bit strange when the truncate option is enabled.

If possible, it would be great if you could add an option to control the truncation of the top item.

For reference, I am controlling this by adding a method to Listable that tells it that it is an item to be truncated. But, TBH, this is not a smart way.

Hey, that was something I wanted to look into

I wonder if we can instead render the truncated element in a temporary buffer and then copy the rows from the temporary buffer over into the real buffer 🤔 I think I will take a look at it this weekend

@akiomik can you checkout https://github.com/preiter93/tui-widget-list/pull/7 if this is what you are looking for?
