The StrongHelp manual states that \s is equivalent to '\t\x0A '. The
quotes are important here and indicate that \s represents a set.
A set is essentially an abbreviated way of writing a sequence of OR's.
Based on the StrongHelp page: \s = '\t\x0A ' = \t | \x0A | " "
In reality it's: \s = White = '\x09-\x0D\x20\xA0'
