It seems really gratuitous. There are already 2 ways to represent the
syntax info of a char: as a cons cell and as a string. Both are documented
in the elisp manual.
The above change introduces yet a third representation, and an undocumented
one at that. Was that really necessary?
It is not new. My change makes it compatible with char-syntax, which
is why I did it. It is also more comparible with the way
modify-syntax-entry works, since the same character is used now by both.
This change reduces the number of representations of the syntax by
one, as far as I know. Or is there some other function that uses the
old representation of syntax-after? If so, perhaps it should be
changed too.
I just saw that the above change caused Juri to install a fix to
descr-text.el that replaces a call to syntax-after with a copy of its
(previous) body.
That is strange, I searched for all the calls and only found them in
paren.el.
