[climacs-devel] (Patch included) Recognition of literal cons-cells in the Lisp syntax module

[Troels Henriksen]

I have been hacking a bit at the Lisp syntax module and tried to
understand how it works (not easy given the lack of comments), but I
think I've gotten a general hang of it. My reason for doing so is
that the syntax module does not recognize literal cons cells (eg. (1
. 2)), parsing them as complete-list-forms. The attached patch makes
the syntax module recognize cons cells, but because I'm not sure I've
done this properly, I'm going to post it here for discussion and
criticism before I commit anything.

Comments?

(I know `lex-token' is becoming very ugly, but from looking at other
definitions of token lexing functions, I am led to believe that
uglyness is almost a necessity.)
