You mean (put 'c-beginning-of-defun 'font-lock-syntax-paren-check t)?

Huh?  This is equal to just 'font-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function.

I have no idea what this `eval' is about.  `beg-function' contains
a function, i.e. a symbol (whose value when interpreted as a variable should
not have any significance) or a lambda expression, so evaluating should be at
best useless.
