Hi Stefan I agree that taking a like only for the ellipsis is
inefficient witht he space. Actually the ellipsis is something I would
like to discuss, but nobody put attention on it before ;(, so I was
basically waiting to receive some feedback (and complains) respecting to
that maybe after pushing into master..

The problem in vertical is that it will be "better" if we don't add {}
  or if it is at least customizable (to have a more ivy-like
  experience). What I thought maybe would be to add the ellipsis in the
  same line of the last candidate like:

aaa
bbb
ccc...

or so... But it was not good enough in my opinion. WDYT?
