Can the syntax class be a function of surrounding characters (e.g. is whitespace surrounding the characters)?
That wouldn't work for classical Latin, e.g., in "AVGVSTÓ·SACR" the "·" is not a letter even though it is surrounded by letters.
In general, whether a character is punctuation or a letter depends on the language. "·" should be punctuation in English, arguably a space in classical Latin, and a letter in Catalan. Is Emacs flexible enough to do that now?
