It matches any char marked with the _ syntax, which is the syntax to use for

Of course not. To match a symbol try "\\(\\sw\\|\\s_)+".

No, it's not the same thing. Emacs distinguishes words from symbols and
it's quite handy sometimes.

Agreed.

Aren't there more cases? like
print HANDLE (arg1, arg2) ?
