Allow for multi character placeholder

What is the current behavior?

Currently, you are only allowed a one character placeholder, which assumes the mask is homogenous. This helps with the format of the field, but not with the semantics of the data.

What is the expected behavior?

It would be great to be able to specify a placeholder with the same format as the pattern:

{
...
  pattern: '99/99/9999',
  placeholder: 'MM/DD/YYYY',
...
}

What's your environment?

I am also struggling with the problem as the mask looks like

• (99)9999999 - 7 digits after ))
• (99)99999999 - 8 digits after ))
• (99)999999999 - 9 digits after ))

in other words, I need to have a mask with variable-length digits/part... and I suppose it is not possible to have right now?
