Can you give a concise description of what concretely is wrong with 
syntax-ppss, and how it could be made better? "it might be a bit tricky to 
debug" and "there's a scary comment somewhere in the source" are very weak 
reasons to call it "never ready for production", no?

Also: Isn't something that works fine on millions in of Emacs instances and has 
been in production for over 15 years "ready for production" by definition?  I 
haven't seen many issues reported about syntax-ppss since I started following 
the bugs list a year ago…

Thanks!
Clément.
