Yes, I did not even realize that a text property could override the
syntax table.
One question remains, which may yet be bug of some kind:
What is the meaning of assigning a matching char to chars in syntax
class comment-starter (`<') or string-quote (`"')? Several packages,
including sh-script.el, make such an assignment, but I do not see that
the meaning of matching chars is documented except for syntax classes
open-parenthesis and close-parenthesis.
