@cindex parsing

The result is a list of nine elements describing the final state of
the parse:

@enumerate 0
@item 
The depth in parentheses, counting from 0.

@item 
@cindex innermost containing parentheses
The character position of the start of the innermost parenthetical
grouping containing the stopping point; @code{nil} if none.

@item 
@cindex previous complete subexpression
The character position of the start of the last complete subexpression
terminated; @code{nil} if none.

@item 
@cindex inside string
Non-@code{nil} if inside a string.  More precisely, this is the
character that will terminate the string, or @code{t} if a generic
string delimiter character should terminate it.

@item 
@cindex inside comment
@code{t} if inside a comment (of either style),
or the comment nesting level if inside a kind of comment
that can be nested.

@item 
@cindex quote character
@code{t} if point is just after a quote character.

@item 
The minimum parenthesis depth encountered during this scan.

@item
What kind of comment is active: @code{nil} for a comment of style ``a'',
@code{t} for a comment of style ``b'', and @code{syntax-table} for
