Documentation

Alist of syntax table modifiers to use while in imenu--generic-function.

The car of the assocs may be either a character or a string and the cdr is a syntax description appropriate for modify-syntax-entry. For a string, all the characters in the string get the specified syntax.

This is typically used to give word syntax to characters which normally have symbol syntax to simplify imenu-expression and speed-up matching.
