You can use `font-lock-syntactic-keywords' and
`parse-sexp-lookup-properties'.

BTW, in some source file I read that font-lock-syntactic-keywords should
be made independent of font-lock.  Is there anything planned in this
direction?

I think syntax-ppss does the same as parse-partial-sexp except that it
automatically caches a state.
