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.
