Hi,
FORWARD-SEXP (or actually, SCAN-SEXPS underneath) moves POINT
in "foo'bar" to the end of BAR.
`(info "(Elisp)Parsing Expressions")' [from 22.0.91.1] says:
Basically, a sexp is either a balanced parenthetical grouping, a
string, or a symbol name (a sequence of characters whose syntax is
either word constituent or symbol constituent). However, _characters
whose syntax is expression prefix are treated as part of the sexp if
they appear next to it._ (Emphasis mine.)
I can see how this is supposed to deal with cases where the quote
character prefixes a symbol, so that you move to the end of the symbol
in "'bar". But what about the above case? Is this intentional?
-T.
