-Create a string of comma-separated values from an array, object, or string with an optional limit and conjunction.
+Create a string of comma-separated values from an array, object, or string with an optional limit and conjunction. Full lists use `Intl.ListFormat`; truncation (`limit` / "N more") stays custom.
 
 **Parameters:**
 - `items` (string | object | string[]): Items to format
 - `options` (object, optional):
   - `limit` (number, optional): Maximum items to show
-  - `conjunction` (string, optional): Conjunction word. Defaults to `'and'`
+  - `conjunction` (string, optional): Conjunction word. Defaults to `'and'` (`'or'` uses ListFormat disjunction)
+  - `locale` (string, optional): BCP 47 locale for ListFormat. Defaults to `'en-GB'` (no Oxford comma)
