    (defun inside-comment-or-string-p ()
      "Return non-nil if `point' is inside a comment or string."
      (let ((state (syntax-ppss (point))))
        (or (nth 3 state) (nth 4 state))))

Stefan, do you see any reason this would be wrong?
(Depending on font lock would not be a general solution.)

If Stefan sees no basic flaw in this, then would one of you like to
try modifying some of the functions in lisp.el to test this criterion?
I guess backward-up-list could move backward out of the string
constant and treat that as one level of list.  Same-level motion
commands could move to the beginning or end of the string and count
that as having moved over one sexp.
