It's saying that though M is in general not safe (not in the list of
safe options in the strchr call), Mr and Ms *are* safe. Rewrite it as
if (! ((opt == 'M') && ((val[0] == 'r') || val[0] == 's'))))
and it may make more sense.
Whether this is actually true (about Mr and Ms being safe but other M
values not being safe) is something I don't have the energy and time to
figure out right now.

I rather wondered that myself.
