It appears to work perfectly, is what happens. << /me slaps forehead >>
I will explain why I didn't try that: mostly because I didn't see a
_forward_ slash in that list, and I was thinking "I've got to find out

understand how ffap-string-at-point works, despite tracing through it
a number of times.
