This is not just about fixing a bug. You're the one who is, in effect, proposing a change to Lisp. This is not normal Lisp behavior. This is a far cry from quote and backquote, comma and period, all of which are quite traditional for Lisp. These are ordinary symbol-constituent characters, and should not be handled in the way you've implemented. (I wanted to say "suggested", but you didn't suggest it to emacs-devel; you just implemented it - in a bug thread, no less.)
