patch: thingatpt.el usage of char-before and char-after

[Aaron Hawley]

Since char-after and char-before use (point) as their default arguments,
there's no sense specifying it.  Also, I'm pretty confident that
(char-after (1- (point))) is equivalent to (char-before).  I noticed
these in thingatpt.el.  Below is a patch that makes these
simplifications to the library's code.

ChangeLog entry:

2007-10-16  Aaron Hawley  <aaronh@garden.org>

	* thingatpt.el (end-of-sexp, beginning-of-sexp)
	(forward-same-syntax): char-before and char-after use (point) as
	default argument.
	(forward-same-syntax): char-before is syntactic sugar
	for (char-after (1- (point))).
