I don't think I've seen it before. I might have blocked out the memory. If I need a generic variable I just use i, or j, but I prefer giving them better names when possible, like row, or x, or item_ndx.
Oh, ii is often used rather than i for iterators because it's easier to text search. Then again if you have to search for the iterator you might be doing something wrong.
That's not creative, that's "clever".
I frown on clever coding.
I wonder if other variables were named
iii,iv,v, etc?Is that ... a spread operator?
nah, [...] is often used to indicate that some part was cut from a quote. I guess it doesn't translate well to code blocks.
I often do three vertical dots for this:
