I didn't know about the ELLIPSIS issue, thanks. My proposed shortcut
would not get in the way of normal typing.
Do I understand correctly, though, that people should just type
... (with or without NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE in between) instead of using
the … character? Is there value in providing that sequence with the
/.. quail key sequence instead of … in Emacs, or is that unnecessary?
