27.0.50; ?\^c syntax confuses scanning |

Hello,
in 20b858ef13f8f71fae6cbce5cdac31c4dd130600 "Prefer \... to control
chars in .el literals" woman.el has been changed to contain reader
syntaxes like "?\^]" - which apparently confuses `scan-sexps', e.g.
(scan-sexps (point-min) (point-max))
|- (scan-error "Containing expression ends prematurely" 81997 81998)
Obviously `scan-sexps' doesn't handle this kind of syntax correctly.
This confuses paren highlighting, by-sexp and by-list movement, prevents
enabling paredit mode, and such unpleasant things.
(CC'ing the author of the commit, Paul Eggert)
Thanks and regards,
Michael.

one.
The same for you! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction; I installed the
