This has been changed in 1.20 (and discussed on the mailing list); to
cite the man page:
GNU eqn sets the input token "..." as three periods or l
PS: One thing I forgot to mention (below) is that the token ",...,"
(i.e. comma and 3 dots and comma with no spaces) will place the three
dots on the baseline, in line with the commas, as in
for $r ^=^ 1 , 2 ,..., N$
However, this then devolves the entire layout of the sequence to eqn.

Hello,
according to man eqn an ellipsis of three subsequent dots will be
replaced by a real ellipsis, whereas to get three centered dots one
should use cdots.
However when I enter ... I get cdots and I wouldn't know how to get a
real ellipsis, since there does not appear to be an ellipsis glyph in
