/**
 * ReadMore
 *
 * Adds "read more" functionality to elements.
 *
 * Specifically, it looks for a trigger, by default ".js-read-more-trigger", and adds the class
 * "is-expanded" to the previous element in order to provide a click to expand functionality.
 *
 * This is useful for long text elements that you would like to truncate, especially for mobile.
 *
 * Example Markup
 * <div class="read-more-container">
 *   <p>Some text that should be long enough to have to truncate within a specified container.</p>
 *   <p>This text will not appear in the container, as only the first line can be truncated.</p>
 *   <p>This should also not appear, if everything is working correctly!</p>
 * </div>
 * <button class="js-read-more-trigger">Read more</button>
 *
