bug#4400: 23.1.50; char-syntax

[Andreas Roehler <andreas.roehler@online.de>]

Emacs -Q

(char-syntax (char-after))a
--> 119

which seems not what's told in docu:

Return the syntax code of CHARACTER, described by a character.
For example, if CHARACTER is a word constituent,
the character `w' is returned.


Thanks all!
