I wouldn't count it undocumented. It is obvious that the special char inset outputs \ldots, so I need to redefine that macro. Would the special char output \dots, I would have re-defined that. In any case, we should not replace one macro by the other behind the back of users, just because they are equivalent by default (outside math, that is). > I read a bit about \ldots, \dots and friends (in the LaTeX > companion), > and it seems now that the situation is not very simple.

Rather than that, we could consider to support the ellipsis (or xellipsis) package, or csquotes, or a combination of those. > What is a good reference on the subject?
