PR 10330 adds few references for using an ellipsis as a placeholder.

[issue9842] Document ... used in recursive repr of containers

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger  added the comment:

Since the appearance of reprs is not guaranteed.  I don't think this should be 
documented (because doing so makes it a guaranteed behavior).  In fact, the 
appearance has changed over time from ... to  [...] in and may change at some 
point to <...> so that it can't be confused with an actual Ellipsis object.  At 
best this should be a FAQ entry or we can defer to behaviors that are 
documented and guaranteed (such as reprlib.recursive_repr() and its default 
fillvalue).  

I concur with David Murray that the Ellipsis object should be indexed and 
cross-referenced.

[issue9842] Document ... used in recursive repr of containers

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org:

Built-in containers like dict use an ellipsis to represent a recursive item.  
In the symbols index, “...” only links to the secondary prompt; I think it 
should also link to a paragraph explaining the display of recursive containers.

... is also the Ellipsis object, and it is probably even more important that 
the index cross reference that usage :)
