Description
A symbol with ' in it should be font-locked so that the whole symbol has the same color. I'm no expert on font-locking, nor on clojure-mode, but I quickly browsed the code, and this seems wrong:
``` (defconst clojure--sym-forbidden-rest-chars "][\";\'@\\^`~\(\)\{\}\\,\s\t\n\r"```
since https://clojure.org/reference/reader says that `'` is allowed in a symbol. I tried to change that but it didn't solve the problem below.
## Steps to reproduce the problem
Type `(defn test'fn [])` in clojure-mode and note the colors.
## Expected behavior
All characters of `test'fn` should be of the same color.
## Actual behavior
The characters after and including `'` are not of the expected color (they are white, my default text color).
