Subject: [PATCH] utils: accept mistypings and common separators between line
and column
It is easy to type beside the comma key and hit instead "m" or ".", so
accept also these as a separator between line and column number. And
when being generous anyway, also accept space, slash and semicolon.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48305.
