(It is not that uncommon to see it spelled out, but usually it is done so

needed afterwards, I thought "etcetera" looked better (".," combinations
are awkward).

Ah, good.  Yes, you are supposed to use a special glyph for an ellipsis,
but I didn't know how to do that in TeXinfo.  I'll post a patch.
