This is a request for merge a patch to official GNU Emacs source tree.
Following patch adds a function to move the point to / with
C-M-f and C-M-b when reading a filename from minibuffer.

If syntax is nil, (car syntax) is nil, so the above is equivalent to
(when (eq (car syntax) punctuation)
> + (let* ((cons? (consp cc))
> + (begin (if cons? (car cc) cc))
> + (end (if cons? (cdr cc) begin))

Aka (modify-syntax-entry cc "_" table), since it accepts the same "cons
to represent a range" convention ;-)

Isn't this virtually the same as `M-f'/`M-b' in most cases?

M-f / M-b captures periods used in extension(suffix).
Consider
/tmp/foo.el<point>
If you type M-b, you will see
/tmp/foo.<point>el
What I want with M-C-b is
/tmp/<point>foo.el
I think read-file-name should know path separator defined by underlying
operating system.

Yeah, that seems useful. I'm applying your patch with some white-space
cleanups.
