+@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.
