Let's take sm-c-mode as an example: it marks CPP preprocessor elements as being comments. Yet, it also wants to know if there are strings inside that "comment", so it narrows to the "comment" and then parses the result as a chunk of C code. [ Whether this approach is good or bad is beside the point: this is just an example of narrowing, where the context should not affect what is considered "inside a string" or not. ]
IMHO that the kind of proceeding to avoid, unless complexity and trouble grow likewise.
