>>From my previous message:

   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.

Requiring "\s\-a" would be better, the alternative would really be too
confusing.

Sincerely,

Luc.
