	I think there should be a function

	SYNTAX-TYPE char  => {ILLEGAL | WHITESPACE | CONSTITUENT |
			      SINGLE-ESCAPE | MULTIPLE-ESCAPE | MACRO}

    Yes.  Please.  Don't forget terminating vs. non-terminating macro, and
    keywords in the keyword package...

I hope you meant here that syntax types should be specified by symbols
in the keyword package, ie :illegal, :whitespace, etc.
