} Well, if (%) inserts something before (g) processes it, (g) will
} replace it, but what would make it incorrect?

Specifically, are there any terminal control sequences that use a
backslash?  A quick grep of /etc/termcap seems to show that there
are some sequences (fs and ds usually, but some others) that use
a backslash.  To avoid those being interpreted as part of a (g)
escape, it might be best to have (g) occur before (%) unless the
user explicitly orders them the other way by nesting.
