Patch http://python.org/sf/1673355 changes Ellipsis' repr() to '...'. While
this is consistent, the submitter himself noted that it would probably cause
problems with doctest.

Additionally, '...' is currently used to denote recursive structures in the
repr of lists and dicts, so this would have to be changed too.

What do you think?
