text-mode is derived from Fundamental-mode, which has a somewhat peculiar (IMO) interpretation of "whitespace":C-@ ..

Why should all the control chars be considered whitespace in text-mode? Rather than try to use another major mode I think we should fix the above.
That's what I thought, but I don't see a more appropriate choice in the Syntax Class Table node of the Emacs Lisp manual, which says this: | "Whitespace characters" (designated by ` ' or `-') separate symbols | and words from each other. Thanks, -- Kevin
