Lisp mode syntax table

[Fabrice Popineau]

Hi,

Is there a good reason why:
(with-syntax-table lisp-mode-syntax-table
  (string (char-syntax ?\|)))
"\""


IE : the ?\| character has the syntax of string delimiter?
It is certainly not the case when it is used to prevent 
the Lisp reader to switch symbols to upper case characters.
I recently used buffers with lots of symbols of the form
|rdf|:|someClass| and smartparen can't behave well in this case,
unless ?\| be switched to symbol constituent.
Would that switch imply any drawbacks I can't think of?

Thanks,

Fabrice
