A recent thread on the unicode list informs that the character
U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS was added to the UCS to represent a
THREE DOT LEADER (along with U+2024 ONE DOT LEADER and U+2025
TWO DOT LEADER.  That it ended up named ELLIPSIS, according to
that thread, is a mistake.

The strong recomendation is to always use a series of U+002E
FULL STOPs for an ellipsis, possibly with same space between.
U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE is likely appropriate.

One can argue, then, that there is no need for an input system
to support U+2026.

Therefore, it should either be optional, or shouldn't get in
the way of typing '...'.
