Use cases for font-lock-dont-widen, existing or not, HAVE NO BEARING on that determination of the parse-partial-sexp equivalent. So why are we talking about them here?
Because `widen' is viral: if any callees of the current function call it, the current narrowing is busted. If you don't want to support narrowing in syntax-ppss, we can't support it in font-lock either.
I propose one third of us should now fix syntax-ppss so that it conforms to its (new) specification, and that syntax-ppss-base should comprise an integral part of this fix.
Please read the other messages.
