Okay, thanks for confirming.

And a few lines above, there is a comment from 2000 (3cfdd8f)
pondering if \f should be handled as a newline, which is kind of
incorrect anyway?

FWIW, I agree that horiz_space is confusing in this context because it
does not completely reflect the reality, and \v is not that so adding
it to the existing list felt wrong to me.  Form feed is also not a
newline, from what I understand..  From what the parser tells, there
are two things we want to track to handle comments:
- All space characters, which would be \t\n\r\f\v.
- All space characters that are not newlines, \t\f\v.

I don't really have a better idea this morning than using the
following terms in the parser, changing the surroundings with similar
terms:
-space          [ \t\n\r\f]
-horiz_space        [ \t\f]
+space          [ \t\n\r\f\v]
+non_newline_space      [ \t\f\v]

Perhaps somebody has a better idea of split?
