This uses an ellipsis character (…) where everywhere else, we use three dots (...). On the one hand, the ellipsis is more correct. On the other hand, is there a situation where it will be an unprintable character because the terminal only accepts ASCII? Regardless, the code should probably pick one or the other and stick with it.

Linter requires non-ASCII characters (to keep binary size down, believe it or not) so ... it must be.

Also, this should probably align with line 166 in that no " around script and -e comes before the script.js option.

Assuming you left the default checked state for the checkbox about allowing collaborators in this repo to push to your branch, I'll make these updates right now....
