Thank you, very appreciated.

Overall, the integration looks very good, indeed.

Hmmm... the existing code already has such a functionality. Can you try
and use your new function in that code, or somehow merge the two?

Could you try and use up-list, instead?
Also, you can find the START of all enclosing lists in (nth
9 (syntax-ppss)), which seems like it might be helpful here.
It would be good to try and avoid moving all the way to the START or END
of the outermost list, since that may require scanning the whole buffer,
which in pathological cases will make the feature slow. Maybe using
syntax-ppss could help us avoid those pathological cases (since
syntax-ppss uses a cache to avoid re-scanning).
