Actually, what would make more sense is to treat "-" as specifying
a non-existent argument. There are precedents for that in, eg, \c,
and a dash is a little more robust than an empty-string argument.
So that leads me to 0001 attached.

And for that, I suggest 0002. (We only need mappings for cases that
don't work out-of-the-box, so your list seemed a bit redundant.)
