I do this for C mode: (modify-syntax-entry 95 "w" c-mode-syntax-table) Two problems: 1) There are comments somewhere that explicitly say "don't do this!!!" but I never figured out why. I'd like to here from others why this is not recommended. 2) There are lots of syntax tables. Most major-modes have their own. Some minor-modes I think diddle with them too. Plus there is a global syntax table. So, you will need to explore and figure out which syntax tables you want to change. Then add the modification to the appropriate hook(s).
