not an exception; it has the connotation of 'fill in the rest...' as in
``__cause__`` is not set, look in ``__context__`` for it. Ellipses are commonly used in English as place holders when words are

omitted, so look in ``__context__`` for more details.
Ellipsis is not an exception, so cannot be raised.
There is only one Ellipsis, so no unused values.
Error information is not thrown away, so custom code can trace the entire
