Actually I think the problem is that it doesn't work with some (non
UTF-8) encodings that do not have '…'. So it provides fallback in form
of '...', but I guess we can replace it in whole document with 3 dots.
Unless you know of some other way?

for example:
LC_ALL=en_US.iso88591 man doc/screen.1
replaces all … with ...
but with en_US.UTF-8 it shows …
