This seems to be doing the right thing.  It's a bit hairy, but I think
it just *is* a bit hairy --- we do need to re-input the multi-character
special sequence if there's something to ignore in the middle.  I can't
see an obvious problem with how I've done it as it can't be triggered by
anythign else that I can see.

There may be other sequences like this.

I believe inlined patches work from this version of Evolution...
