Unfortunately, this will lead to gobbled spaces in TeX' text mode:


\documentclass{minimal}
\frenchspacing
\begin{document}

It's not that simple, compare math mode (whitespace is insignificant):

$ (1,2,{\ldots}, N) $

$ (1,2,\ldots{}, N) $

$ (1,2,\ldots,N) $ 

$ (1,2, \ldots , N) $

and in text mode (whitespace is gobbled after commands):

and so on, and so on \ldots{} 
And now for something completely different.

and so on, and so on \ldots 
And now

and so on, and so on \ldots{}And now

and so on, and so on\ldots{}And now

and so on, and so on \ldots{} And now

\end{document}

so we might need to distinguish text and math mode (unless you prefer
the "dense" variant).
