Subject: Spaces ... in rules (was: Library for manipulating rules)

I've been using something like i1[ ], but learned that this is probably
not needed.
Looks like when adding extra spaces for better readability has been
introduced, it has been taken care of to expect these additional spaces
only in places where they cannot be mistaken as a part of an existing
command.
I am sure Solar posted a rule which just contained the space where it
belonged, but added a colon at the end of the line, so that the trailing
space wouldn't be inadvertently deleted.
Something like
/_s_ :
(Unfortunately, I am currently unable to find that mail, not sure
whether this was on john-users or another mailing list.)
So, these should work (and they do indeed worked, just tested it):
^ :
$ :
i1 :
o0 :
The trailing colon shouldn't be required, but if no other commands
follow, john complains:
$ ./john --wordlist=test --rules=test --stdout > test2
Invalid rule in ./john.local.conf at line 6: Unexpected end of rule
Looks like john is removing trailing spaces even before analyzing the rules.
This rule applied to the word "test" (without "")
o0 i2 :
gives " e st" (also without "").

Ax"""x
A~[ -z][ -z]~
The only problem is if you want to append multiple arbitrary ascii
characters, because the delimiters need to be different from the
characters you want to insert.
Not sure whether a non-ascii character would work here, it encoded in a
single byte code page.
But the tab character (0x09) does the trick as well.
Unfortunately, a trailing tab is deleted as well, so you would have to
add a colon as a dummy command here.
This will resolve to 9025 (95^2) different rules:
A2 [ -~][ -~] :
