In strings, \s is always interpreted as a space. +*** The escape sequence \s now stands for the SPACE character. + +`?\s' is a new way to write the space character. You must make sure +it is not followed by a dash, since `?\s-...' indicates the "super" +modifier. However, it would be strange to write a character constant +and a following symbol (beginning with `-') with no space between +them. + +`\s' stands for space in strings, too, but it is not really meant for +strings; it is easier and nicer just to write a space. *** A hex escape in a string constant forces the string to be multibyte.
