I don't see it in samtools.github.io/hts-specs/SAMv1.pdf

Thanks for the issues, I'll have a look at each. This one is easy. It just allows to skip backwards on the reference. It consumes no query sequence and negative reference sequence.

Not sure about the spec.

I would folks looking at matching possible types would get confused at an operator that is not in the SAM spec though.
