@defun syntax-after pos
This function returns a description of the syntax of the character in
the buffer after position @var{pos}, taking account of syntax
properties as well as the syntax table.

The value is usually a syntax class character; however, if the buffer
character has parenthesis syntax, the value is a cons cell of the form
@code{(@var{class} . @var{match})}, where @var{class} is the syntax
class character and @var{match} is the buffer character's matching
parenthesis.
