That's an odd suggestion.  Most code out there uses the
`(let ... table)` style rather than `with-syntax-table`.

`with-syntax-table` is a somewhat problematic feature
in general (e.g. any `syntax-ppss` that happens within
a `with-syntax-table` has to be treated specially, etc...), so
we should keep it for those cases where it's really needed.
