Thanks, Kieren, for the link—I’m notoriously bad at finding that kind of 
stuff…

However, the only practical suggestion that comes from it is trying 
\skip rather than s, and that doesn’t actually change behaviour in the 
example that I posted—as David K. already noted back then.

So all I can say is that I agree with your (Kieren’s) assessments at the 
ends of that thread… and for my usecase, I have to hack or adapt 
something within my framework…

Best, Simon
