Whichever use is made, it should be consistent - but patches to change ...
to @dots{} should be separate from patches changing whether it is in a
comment.
The C standard's usage would be written in Texinfo as /* @r{@dots{}} */,
which I think is the best usage (the C standard has been used to indicate
style before, e.g. the spellings of nonzero and bit-field), though I don't
know whether in Texinfo using @r makes any difference to the appearance
and spacing of @dots{}.
