As a syntax table is just a char-table, we can set the
default value of a syntax table to "word".  But, I don't
think we should do such a thing now.

In emacs-unicode-2, all characters (0..0x3FFFF) exists from
the start.  Creating a charset means just to add a mapping
rule between the code-point in the charset and Emacs'
character.  And, the argument CHAR of modify-syntax-entry
can be a cons (MIN-CHAR . MAX-CHAR).

So, we can make a syntax table, modify it for all characters
to be word, then modify it for each special characters.
