Thank. You. So. Much, Sir! Now it works (the manual fiddling, that
is).
I assume that if (=when) I hook into `syntax-propertize-function', it
will work, too. (I hope so at least!) It's 00:46 (AM) here in Poland
and I have still more than an hour of work before I go to sleep, so I
will not try that out today, but I will definitely investigate this (and
post about it if it works).
Thanks again!
