This uses an ellipsis character () where everywhere else, we use three dots (...). On the one hand, the ellipsis is more correct. On the other hand, is there a situation where it will be an unprintable character because the terminal only accepts ASCII? Regardless, the code should probably pick one or the other and stick with it.
