Yes, that was a bad mistake. But in comments, we have to
parse-partial-sexp from the comment block's start, not just from (nth 8
(syntax-ppss)), otherwise won't work in multi-line comment
blocks. Though (nth 8 ...) that does play a part too (I guess that's
what you meant)). So I changed the existing `electric-pair--syntax-ppss'
helper to provide that.

So I commited this to trunk, with two new tests for this behaviour in
ruby line-comments and c block-style comments.
