"Use of "\V" means that in the remaining pattern, only a backslash and
terminating character (usually / or ?) have special meaning. "Very
nomagic"

1) 'comma' after first clause
2) 'a' instead 'the', as the use of a backslash isn't limited to one usage,
3) 'terminating character' ("specifier dropped" as specifier for other
subject
('a') is distributed over both subject-nouns;
(OR: "the corresponding, terminating character"; felt it read better
without
the extra word)
4) 'have' instead of 'has' (subject-verb quantity agreement)
5) "special meaning" is a property, not a thing,
like "has magic" or "does not have magic", but not
"has a magic" or "does not have a magic"
