[texhax] \ldots v. \cdots

[Yannis Haralambous]

when you have binary operators centered on the mathematical axis, use  
\cdots
when you have sequences of numbers of variables separated by commas,  
use \ldots

$1+2+\cdots+n$ but $1,2,\ldots,n$

some other dots are specialized to multiple integrals, etc.

               Es gab eine Zeit, wo ich nur ungern über Schubert  
sprechen,
            nur Nächtens den Bäumen und Sternen von ihm vorerzählen  
mögen.
