forward-word, et alia

forward-word, et alia

[James Cloos]

At some point in the last year or so, the ascii apostrophe stopped being
a word delimeter and became a word constituent.  Unlike everywhere else.

I haven't found a note about it in new or in git history, and haven't
been able to remind myself where in the src to look for the change, so
that I can fix it.

Can anyone remind me where I should look?

I think you are looking for `modify-syntax-entry'. See, e.g. [1] for
some examples.

Thanks.  And that confirms the problem.  C-h s in some buffers includes
this:

,----
| The parent syntax table is:
| "		. 	which means: punctuation
| '		w p	which means: word,
| 	  is a prefix character for ‘backward-prefix-chars’
| \		. 	which means: punctuation
`----

Now to find where that is done....
