Another thing that doesn't work is regexp's word boundary support (\b and B\),
which only looks at syntax tables. I'm not sure about the best way to fix it,
though: do we really want to run arbitrary elisp inside the regex matcher? It
doesn't seem feasible to go add text properties everywhere there's a word
boundary either.
