function! ingo#compat#command#Mods( mods )
"******************************************************************************
"* PURPOSE:
"   Return the command modifiers |<mods>| passed in raw as a:mods.
"   In order to support older Vim versions that don't have this, one cannot use
"   <q-mods>; this isn't understood and raises an error. Instead, we can benefit
"   from the fact that the modifiers do not contain special characters, and do
"   the quoting ourselves: '<mods>'. Now we only need to remove the identifer in
"   case it hasn't been understood, and this is what this function is about.
"	command! Sedit call SpecialEdit(<q-mods>)
"	command! Sedit call SpecialEdit(ingo#compat#command#Mods('<args>'))
"* ASSUMPTIONS / PRECONDITIONS:
"   None.
"* EFFECTS / POSTCONDITIONS:
"   None.
"* INPUTS:
"   '<mods>'
"* RETURN VALUES:
"   Usable modifiers.
