Proposal A provides the pre-elides, if you would prefer those over post-elides.  As I already indicated, I could live with that.  It is not among my most favored proposals, however, on account of being in Simon's Class 2 (requires support in the lexer).  Among the Class 2 proposals, A is my favorite.
