When setting up some function to run with an idle timer, I noticed the

I've just evaluated this is the scratch buffer:
(run-with-idle-timer 1 nil (lambda () (message "%s" (syntax-table))))
And the message came with a normal, non-empty syntax table value.
It somehow makes sense, since there's no buffer associated with it.
It normally runs in whatever buffer is current in the selected window.
