Quoting 35.2.1 Table of Syntax Classes:
-- Syntax class: whitespace character
"Whitespace characters" (designated by ` ' or `-') separate symbols
and words from each other. [...] Space, tab, newline and formfeed
are classified as whitespace in almost all major modes.
However, if I open, say, an empty foo.el or foo.c file, press RET
and then M-: (list (string (char-before))
(string (char-syntax (char-before))))
I get ("
" ">"), i.e. a syntax of type 'endcomment'.
This behaviour seems to go through 23,22, and 21, so it's definitively
not new. :-)
My question is, is the above paragraph just wrong? Can I count on it
being ">"?
Additionally: It seems that CR has a syntax type of `symbol' since
version 22, but it was ">" on 21.
-T.
