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.
