Most common one (or the only one) that might need across chunk parsing.  Other
uses might be behaving correctly within a narrowed span.

The only adjustment of parse-partial-sexp that might be necessary with respect
to hard narrowing is to start parsing from (max FROM hard-point-min). But that
remains to be seen with concrete use cases.

I have never needed that with polymode, so I don't have an example (this might
change in the near future though). The implementation would flow as: parse one
span with syntax-ppss, then go to next span, install syntax-ppss-last at the
beggining of it and call syntax-ppss at the next desired point etc.
