So if I understand correctly. The current proposal should sort " " (space)
after "-","," and other symbols?

How much of a problem is it? The 1st problematic cases on this ticket caused
the results to grouped by punctuation. Which was bad because it was randomly
mixing stuff that semantically was linked and should have been together, the
letters have the real meaning here. Not a hyphen.

comment 18 also shows stuff mixed that splat the group of "santa " that should
have stayed all together. 

So about sorting " " after "-" and "," => does it lead to examples of stuff
that is in the wrong place as bad as the two above cases? Or is the rule more
about having a standardized unambiguous order for the sake of consistency and
predictability even if there was nothing semantically messed up without that
rule.
