Ashok took a drag and blew a peaceful stream of smoke, and said philosophically:

I don’t believe he ever returned to finish that sentence, or even noticed that

Is this perhaps what you mean by "among literals"?

Following NST, my ellipses tend to be more intended to indicate a pause or to 
indicate that what may look like a sharp tangent is intended to be more of a 
gentle segue (in my mind).   Or maybe too lazy to make the segue smooth with 
actual words?

Re: [FRIAM] Communication guides for the elderly

[Prof David West]

I seldom use ellipses except at the end of a sentence or phrase, with the 
approximate meaning of 'etc.' or "blah blah blah," or "fill in the blank(s)"
