In GNU Emacs 18.55.3 of Thu Jun  7 1990 on sungari (berkeley-unix)

In minibuffers created for M-esc (eval-expression) and m-x, the
standard syntax table is used.  This results in broken behavior by the
completion routines bound to m-tab, tab and esc.  As a specific
example, we use franz's common lisp and their emacs to lisp interface,
fi.  The symbols in the fi interface are named as if they were in a CL
package, for example:

	fi:common-lisp-mode

After typing:

	M-x fi:<prompt>

The completion list contains all the fi: completions, including
fi:common-lisp-mode.  BUT, if you type:

	M-x fi:common<prompt> 

the list shows all completions starting with "common", and leaving the
fi: off.  This is because the ":" has punctuation syntax; at least, I
am certain that giving the ":" symbol syntax ("_") fixes the problem.

I would rather not modify the standard syntax table, particularly as
the emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table already has the proper syntax.

Thanks!
