As one user, I find the adoption of `…' instead of `...' to be a
retrogression, not an improvement. It is far less readable. Just one
opinion.
Compare, as one example among zillions:
-- Macro: with-help-window buffer-name body…
with
-- Macro: with-help-window buffer-name body...
I cannot imagine what someone thought, when making this change. Did it
come just because we _can_ now use that Unicode character? That's not
a reason that we _should_ use it in such contexts.
