It's a much smaller patch and no bug has been demonstrated with it
(other than artificial examples where it's not even unambiguous what
would be the right answer, because it's far from clear how we'd ever
get into such a situation).

In any case, I'm opposed to the way this is implemented, so if my voice has
any value, I want to record my strong opposition to it.

In case you don't want to dig into the whole thread, the core reason why
I'm opposed to it is because it introduces a parallel cache to the one
used in syntax-ppss, and I think we should only have a single cache
for that.

So if his patch is extended to completely replace syntax-ppss, my
objection would be addressed.
