There are some "technical" reasons that we chose to not keyword punctuation. A few come to mind:
1) .,?!;: and other punctuation that often occur at the end of sentences would routinely be included in keywords.
2) how many punctuation characters would ever really be useful for keywords?
3) html encoded characters, such as " or ৐ and other types of encoding.

You obviously desire to have the / character be included in keywords, are there other symbols you know you would like to see included? I am guessing that the list is not very long, it may be feasible to simply add these adtitional characters to the list in lieu of adding all punctuation with the negatives that accompany that change.
