syntax-ppss is a "medum level function". It is neither a primitive nor a high level function. Such a function should be "determinate", in that it should always do the same thing given the same arguments and external conditions. Such a function should be "rigorous", in that it should do the Right Thing in any circumstances. I'm saying there is a need to fix syntax-ppss, since it is neither determinate nor rigorous. Does that make sense?
Oh. Yes, of course. You were replying to Andreas who stated that there's no such need. Sorry for the noise.
