Description

Hello, thanks a lot for this great package !
If I'm not mistaken there is no feature yet to humanize a ratio (between 0 and 1) or a percentage (between 0-100).

It could be a great addition ! It can be just one function to handle both, with two possible inputs (ratio= or percent=). The outcome would in both cases, be a truncated percent string with optional decimal coma up to a given precision, as in 12,5%. Customization of precision with a number of decimal could be similar to precisedelta's precision customization with the units.

Research direction

Start by comparing the proposed ratio and percent API with precisedelta's precision customization. Verify ratio and percent inputs, truncation, optional decimal precision, and the requested percent-string formatting; completion should include coverage in the project's existing tests.
