Ok, I give up. This is the problem (in GNU 18.52):
a-long-lisp-name-with-lots-of-hyphens another-hyphenated-name
So how do I transpose these two variables? If I use M-x transpose-word,
or M-x transpose-sexp, I wind up with:
a-long-lisp-name-with-lots-of-another hyphens-hyphenated-name
My theory is that the syntax table doesn't think of "-" as a word, so
I tried M-x modify-syntax-entry RET - RET "w" and I also tried "w ", but
it has no effect. I do this while in the lisp buffer, so it should work.
It doesn't. How to do it? That's the question.
