I'm looking forward to your proof-of-concept implementation of "go back
until you find the top-level syntactic construct".

In the mean time, I'll be happy to wait the 0.2s tree-sitter takes for the
initial full parse.

PS: AFAIK, "find the top-level syntactic construct" is a big part of what
CC-mode works so hard on.  It's *hard* to do if you want it to work
reliably (like users expect nowadays).
