I did it a tad differently:
If the first character is not a digit it is used as the line-
break indicator (by default reverse solidus ‘\’); if it is hy‐
phen-minus ‘-’ no symbol is produced. Thereafter one, two or
three (space separated) numeric values are expected

But v14.10 will not work out this year, there is so much more to
do, and whereas not all things which are in TODO will be in
v14.10[.0], quite a bit has to be there.
(P.S.: the [next] branch is currently unstable because of the
(BWDIC!) shexp: support "$@$@"; support "word splitting"..
commit which implements shell field splitting, or, better,
currently does not. I should move it away from [next], but am
still hoping to finally find the time to get that merde right.)
(P.P.S.: commit id very well unstable on [next], message is
*quote-fold*: allow symbol specification (Stephen Isard))
Ciao!!
