Should Vim recognise an ellipsis? [Was: Spellcheck after Ellipsis again]

Ah ... yes, the spaced out dots are especially good for indicating
hesitation/thinking in dialogue or even a list reply.

Maybe we need Vim spellchecking to recognise the difference between a
single period, and three consecutive. That would eliminate the root
cause of the problem.

Another lateral thought; in my Yellow on DarkSlateGrey colourscheme
(used for more than a quarter of a century, now) the dark blue highlight
is nothing more than a subtle visual hint. It is certainly not
annoyingly obtrusive. Admittedly, false positives are never good.
