--- Comment #34 from Jan Schmidt <thaytan at noraisin.net> ---
The reason not to use '-' is that it's the standard word separator for flags
nicks. Even having something visually similar will make it harder to read
strings.

Compare:

+flush+skip/snap-before

to:

+flush+skip~snap-before

Equally, ! is a bad choice for something we'll want to use in parse_launch()
strings, since it's the link operator.

I picked / because it's like the 'not' operator for written boolean expressions
- with a bar over the top of the expression for negation
