If we want to do this, I volunteer to start doing the rewrite -- I have
some functions for this from the decoded time makeover...

So what would the accessor macros be?  Err...  looking at the doc
string, something like:

ppss-depth
ppss-start-innermost
ppss-start-last-complete-sexp
ppss-string-terminator
ppss-comment-nesting
ppss-after-quote-character
ppss-minimum-paren-depth
ppss-comment-style
ppss-start-comment-or-string
ppss-open-paren-positions
ppss-two-character-syntax
ppss-internal
