("/home/michael/repos/emacs/lisp/help-mode.elc" (require . button) ...) ...) These ellipsis cut off the part of the node that would otherwise escape beyond limits: print-length and print-level; as they were set above. I have vivid memory of being able to interact with those ellipsis as buttons, which would then expand and reveal previously invisible forms. Please let me know that my memory does not deceive me. It's possible to be the product of external package, but so far my searches didn't turn up anything of this nature. If this was in fact a feature, that was pulled out of stock emacs I would find it very interesting to learn about the reason that forced such decision.
