But maybe a better fix is to let-bind forward-sexp-function to nil around the call to forward-sexp. After all, we're using here forward-sexp to skip over a symbol, not just any a sexp. Or maybe even replace forward-sexp with (skip-syntax-backward "w_"), although it seems so obvious that maybe there's a reason why it's not done: better check the file's log to seen if it wasn't (skip-syntax-backward "w_") already in the past.
