(Parsing Expressions): Update info on which STATE elements are ignored.

70830:ddf34252d553

@code{syntax-table}, parsing stops after the start of a comment or a
string, or the end of a comment or a string, whichever comes first.

@cindex parse state
The fifth argument @var{state} is a ten-element list of the same form
as the value of this function, described below.  (It is OK to omit the
last two elements of this list.)  The return value of one call may be
used to initialize the state of the parse on another call to
@code{parse-partial-sexp}.

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

@enumerate 0

@item
Internal data for continuing the parsing.  The meaning of this
data is subject to change; it is used if you pass this list
as the @var{state} argument to another call.

@end enumerate

Elements 0, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 are significant in the argument
@var{state}.

@cindex indenting with parentheses
This function is most often used to compute indentation for languages
that have nested parentheses.
@end defun

Elements 1, 2, and 6 are ignored in the argument @var{state}.  Element
8 is used only to set the corresponding element of the return value,
in certain simple cases.  Element 9 is used only to set element 1 of
the return value, in trivial cases where parsing starts and stops
within the same pair of parentheses.
