I tried to do this. But I don't quite understand the relation of
modify-syntax-entry and define-generic-mode.
Does the meaning of the regexes (like in ;;1) depend on the
syntax-table?
Why do the regexes ;;a and ;;b match parts of the same "word" (where
word is any string that doesn't contain \s characters)?
According to C-h f define-generic-modeI, ;;2 is a FUNCTION-LIST
argument. Why isn't it possible to write '((modify-syntax-entry ?/
"w")) at this place?
