It's an interesting interpretation, but the truth is somewhat more boring.

YAML uses three dashes (“---”) to separate directives from document
content. This also serves to signal the start of a document if no
directives are present. *Three dots ( “...”) indicate the end of a document
without starting a new one*, for use in communication channels.


I tried to make the help message for -dump-config better in r247792. Please
tell me, if you have other suggestions on how to make this more usable.
