Hi,

the following breaks my "el-search" package when searching in
"skeleton.el".  It assumes that calling `scan-sexps' works at the start
of any sexp.

Recipe: in emacs -Q,

insert

    (eq element '@)

in an elisp mode buffer (e.g. scratch).  Put point at the quote or the
"@".  Eval

    (goto-char (scan-sexps (point) 1))

and you get an error like:


Debugger entered--Lisp error: (scan-error "Containing expression ends prematurely" 15 16)
  scan-sexps(13 1)
  (goto-char (scan-sexps (point) 1))
  eval((goto-char (scan-sexps (point) 1)) nil)
  eval-expression((goto-char (scan-sexps (point) 1)) nil)
  funcall-interactively(eval-expression (goto-char (scan-sexps (point) 1)) nil)
  call-interactively(eval-expression nil nil)
  command-execute(eval-expression)


I think `scan-sexps' should not error.  FWIW, if I add one more sexp to
the list after "'@" (different from "'@"), there is no error.


TIA,

Michael.
