Right, that is something Emacs syntax tables can't currently express.

Ok, I think I got it.

As mentioned, it has string syntax for things like |)| and | |.

Something like this would fix my case

(modify-syntax-entry ?\| "_ 23bn" lisp-mode-syntax-table)

but fail on the ones you mention.

Right paren is weird in an atom name, but it may be easy to put spaces in it.

Thanks,
