Adding an example would help to certain point, but beyond that certain point it becomes unnecessary noise that talks the obvious. If you saw the question asked many times in the real world, that would be a good indication that this patch falls into the "helpful" category, not "noise". Will queue. I wonder if there are other manual pages with ... notation that benefits from similar changes, though. Thanks.
