add optional text expansion on mouseover

[jakeisnt]

This PR introduces a boolean flag that can be passed to createTelescopicTextFromBulletedList, false by default, that turns on the ability to expand text when the text is moused over. Notably, the text is not expanded recursively when moused over; we use a very short time delay to ensure this doesn't happen

(if there is a better way to do this, let me know! this might be dependent on browser performance)

Usage is fairly self-explanatory, but please let me know if and how you'd like it to be documented! Happy to add a demo as well if you'd like - please try it out!

oh fun! can you add a video showing the behavior?

Also I think this behavior might make more sense if it un-expands after your mouse stops hovering? that way you can click to intentionally open rather than accidentally opening a bunch and having no way to revert. You'll probably need to add another class just to mark that it was opened from hover and not actually clicked open in order to handle not unexpanding things that were explicitly clicked open.

thanks for the contribution and idea :)

I like the hover idea - and I can add it - but I think that's a separate feature!

I tried out this initial expansion when hovering, then "locking in" the expansion by clicking, but it didn't feel intuitive; something impactful should change on click, and expanding it twice doesn't 'feel right' to me. I like being able to move the mouse around to interact with the page without clicking at all - that was the motivation here.

Somewhat unrelated, but I think that passing a toplevel 'config' object argument rather than having to deal with more than one optional parameter would be a better move here - that way users aren't required to provide all of the optional parameters prior to the one they want to use.

ah yes that would be great, want to bundle that in here and make an Config interface that has separator and hoverable?

mmm interesting ok that's fair! interested in seeing the interaction on video!

Quick video - took me a sec, had to get screen recording up on this linux system...
