With the current CVS trunk, I still have trouble with ? syntax:

ELISP> '(?\ ?\-)
*** Read error ***  Invalid read syntax: "?"
ELISP> '(? ?\-)
*** Read error ***  Invalid read syntax: "?"
ELISP> 

Such forms are used everywhere, so we have to allow them in
order not to break backward compatibility.
