--- Comment #14 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
OK, this is stupid.

We provide a single glyph substitution via Autocorrect mechanism (":.:" or
".*...") to replace the Unicode U+2026 as a single glyph.  And would support an
OpenType Stylistic alternative for any selected font that provides the wider
spaced gylph. 

And, our autocorrect sequences can be customized to users preferences to not
assign the U+2026 glyph.

The "discussion" 3 dots, or 3 dots separated by spaces as *depending* on CSL or
*prescribed* in some style guide/book is tangential (i.e. enhancement of bug
121945).

Point is we already support any reasonable use case for handling the horizontal
ellipsis.

Beyond that yes we could do an edit engine filter to assign some flag to the
"..." sequence (when autocorrect is suppressed) to pass to a grammar checking
extension, e.g. LightProof. But don't see that as pressing--and an easy => WF.
