AFAIK, there is no difference between "?\ " and "? ".
I'd like to "see" the space too, but \s is a bad choice.
Maybe ?\_ could identify this?
There are many ways to express a "protected space":
? ; -- only works at end of line
(+ ? )
32
(aref " " 0)
(string-to-char " ")
In any case, ?\_ looks simpler.
