;;; Commentary:

;; The main exported function is `syntax-ppss'.  You might also need
;; to call `syntax-ppss-flush-cache' or to add it to
;; before-change-functions'(although this is automatically done by
;; syntax-ppss when needed, but that might fail if syntax-ppss is
;; called in a context where before-change-functions is temporarily
;; let-bound to nil).

;;; Todo:

;; - do something about the case where the syntax-table is changed.
;;   This typically happens with tex-mode and its `$' operator.
;; - move font-lock-syntactic-keywords in here.  Then again, maybe not.
;; - new functions `syntax-state', ... to replace uses of parse-partial-state
;;   with something higher-level (similar to syntax-ppss-context).
;; - interaction with mmm-mode.

;;; Code:

;; Note: PPSS stands for `parse-partial-sexp state'
