*** The syntax-directed buffer-scan functions (such as<BR>
`parse-partial-sexp', `forward-word' and similar functions) can now
obey syntax information specified by text properties, if the variable
`parse-sexp-lookup-properties' is non-nil.
<P>
If the value of `parse-sexp-lookup-properties' is nil, the behavior
is as before: the syntax-table of the current buffer is always
used to determine the syntax of the character at the position.
<P>
When `parse-sexp-lookup-properties' is non-nil, the syntax of a
character in the buffer is calculated thus:
<P>
	a) if the `syntax-table' text-property of that character
	   is a cons, this cons becomes the syntax-type;
<P>
	   Valid values of `syntax-table' text-property are: nil, a valid
	   syntax-table, and a valid syntax-table element, i.e.,
	   a cons cell of the form (SYNTAX-CODE . MATCHING-CHAR).
<P>
	b) if the character's `syntax-table' text-property
	   is a syntax table, this syntax table is used
	   (instead of the syntax-table of the current buffer) to
	   determine the syntax type of the character.
<P>
	c) otherwise the syntax-type is determined by the syntax-table
	   of the current buffer.
