Neither was there before since you could always use
font-lock-syntax-table to get the same result. Temporarily switching
the syntax-table is a cheap operation that you shouldn't be afraid
to do. The only operations for which it's difficult/impossible is
buffer navigation like M-f, so the main syntax-table should be careful
not to mark _ as word constituent.
