Of course, if one wanted to use it within a string (which one should allow for consistency), then one might have to worry about whether "\s-a" would be a valid string, or whether "\s\-a" would be necessary. Currently, "\s-a" leads to a "Invalid modifier in string" error. There might be other problems (although I do not see any right now.) Modifying tabify-regexp is an alternative. It is not a user option and one could point out in the documentation string that one should be careful in modifying it. Sincerely, Luc.
