If you want, I can PR it, sounds easy enough to just replace the line below with opts.map[char].repeat(elongateLength)
or something.

Just let me know how you want this to be reflected in the package options.
Hey @tabarra! Sorry for the slow reply. I think this is reasonable to add :) Perhaps repeatCommonVowelsTimes
is more descriptive? I think this option could replace the elongate
boolean option. repeatCommonVowelsTimes: 0
would result in the same behavior as elongate: false
We can default repeatCommonVowelsTimes = 1
Probably would be good to add a jsdoc comment explaining what this option does so folks can see that through the language server, for example when hovering over the option in VSCode. Something like
/**
* The number of times "a", "e" "o", and "u" should be repeated.
* Default to `1` which results in ~30% longer English text.
*/
repeatCommonVowelsTimes = 1
Feel free to make a PR if you want! Otherwise, I'll get around to making this improvement eventually. I can't promise it will be soon though since I don't have a lot of time for open-source these days :)
Duplicating vowels is good, but some locales are REALLY verbose, I would like an option to 3x or maybe even 4x any vowels.
