Description
I have forgotten and rediscoverd this multiple times, and (some time ago) at least one person on the slack asked how to see the apparently unavailable elided arguments. Maybe we can also change it to something other than ellipsis since in non-menu contexts it doesn't suggest further interaction (and also it's not for the menu convention of meaning it will involve further interaction).
The edit just now changed the title to show the actual format “...:”. That I thought it was “:...” emphasizes the issue, since the “...” appears to say keep reading, the arguments are still to come after the “:”.
