Well, you'll see that I did not change any ... inside of a comment or
@ignore section. Which is where ... is only in the Texinfo source. So
where _only_ source readability is concerned, I'm in concord with your
desire.
But Texinfo is not a markdown language. It is not intended as the
normal form of reading a document. The readability of the target format
takes priority. I have to admit that the actual motivation was Info
getting confused about ... in connection with a cross reference. But
the change nevertheless makes sense as it results in visual consistency.
