That's not a "call", that's evaluation.  And using %S is a
prerequisite, AFAIK; you won't get the ellipsis with other formats.

Like I said: eval's doc string documents this feature, you just looked
for the documentation in the wrong place (and still found it, albeit
through a long path).  So I see nothing to be done here, and I'm
closing this bug report.
