[ghc-steering-committee] #477: Unicode ellipsis, recommendation: accept

[Richard Eisenberg]

I support this, though I note that it is just barely possible that this proposal will break code in the wild. Packages control-dotdotdot and ghc-justdoit both define a (…) operator. I don't easily see whether they enable -XUnicodeSyntax, though.

Still: +1
