If you process '\w', '-', and 'a' in this order,
can the first \w be a ClassAtom anyway?
According to the definition of Atom,
it seems to be counted as a "\ AtomEscape" before the beginning of a
CharacterClass.

Atom[U, N] ::
      PatternCharacter
      .
      \ AtomEscape[?U, ?N]
      CharacterClass[?U]
      ( GroupSpecifier[?U] Disjunction[?U, ?N] )
      ( ? : Disjunction[?U, ?N] )

A \w is a "\ CharacterClassEscape", so can be a "\ AtomEscape".
I know it also can be a "\ ClassEscape" and a ClassAtomNoDash,
however, \w-a looks two Atoms to me, one Atom \w and one Atom -a.

Is there any rule defining the order of such interpretations?
