I think that this is one reason, but probably the main reason is that
in IDLE the complete block is editable, and those three dots would get
in the middle.

I think that it may actually be a good idea, but it would need some
work - for example, pressing backspace when the cursor is after the
"dot prompt" should delete the prompt and get to the previous line.

Interesting...
