> 2. Remove make_char_multibyte(c) from Bchar_syntax because it seems to be the wrong thing to do: in a unibyte buffer, wouldn't the syntax table be indexed by byte value (so that char 255 in the buffer corresponds to entry 255 in the syntax table rather than entry 0x3fffff)?

I don't think we want to support unibyte buffers which have some text
that is syntactically significant.  A unibyte buffer is just a stream
of raw bytes, they are not characters.
