Subject: [PATCH] Fix syntax-category of some punctuation characters
* lisp/textmodes/text-mode.el (text-mode-syntax-table): Don't
modify the global syntax-table just because we load text-mode.el.
This happens at loadup time, and then affects the default syntax
in all modes, not just in text-mode and its derivatives.
(Bug#49214)
