[PATCH v3 04/10] docs: write an elided passage as a comment

[Trevor Woerner <twoerner@gmail.com>]

Several examples stand in for code they leave out with a bare "..." or a
column of dots on a line of their own. Neither is valid in the language
around it, so the example cannot say what language it is without also
saying something false about itself.

Use a comment instead, in whatever language the example is written in,
and say in it what was left out. The ellipsis on its own raises a
question - what is missing here, and does it matter? - that a few words
can answer at no cost to the reader.
