Great! I will add that to the wiki.
From testing I assume "width" controls the width of the symbol (i.e. symbol
space, if the symbol is not very wide) and "distance" an additional distance
from the symbol's right edge. So one will get the same results from these 2:
Width=0pt,distance=1em
Width=1em,distance=0pt
