This would seem to remove any `m` character that is followed by one or more spaces, so I don’t think it _quite_ does what you asked for. Not sure why it would be faster either.

I asked someone how to remove all spaces in an string more efficiently and he responded with

search: (m?)\s+
replace: (nul)

That is, I know what this does, but I don't understand the syntax
