My point is that instead of creating a new kind of "syntax cache" for this specific purpose, we'd be better off using the cache we already have.Maybe, maybe not. Special purpose things can have an austere simplicity which their general purpose equivalents lack. Think of a high quality screwdriver, and compare it to using the screwdriver piece of a Swiss Army knife.
Consider this: when we implement mixed-major-mode support in Emacs, it's probably going to be via an extension to syntax-ppss.
Will an independent comment-cache facility support that automatically, or will it need corresponding changes as well?
