Emacs character syntax of @

Hello all,

ILisp doesn't seem to define the Emacs character syntax of "@".  I've
set it to be a "prefix character" (Emacs terminology), so that M-(
doesn't insert an extra space.  This is the syntax class used in Elisp
mode, and I find it useful when typing backquote templates.

I've done this by adding

    (modify-syntax-entry ?@ ". p" lisp-mode-syntax-table)

to ilisp-ext.el and it seems to work OK.  Is this reasonable?

Hope this is of some use to someone,

                                        --Tony

P.S. While I'm here, apart from the reason noted in ilisp-ext.el as to
why changing "." syntax is a tradeoff, I think it may also work badly
with M-(, since using M-( to type #.(...) adds a possibly extraneous
space.  This effect also shows up in Elisp modes, but then Elisp
doesn't have read expressions.
