+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; The main exported function is `syntax-ppss'. You might also need
+;; to call `syntax-ppss-after-change-function' or to add it to
+;; after-change-functions'(although this is automatically done by
+;; syntax-ppss when needed, but that might fail if syntax-ppss is
+;; called in a context where after-change-functions is temporarily
+;; let-bound to nil).
+
+;;; Todo:
+
+;; - do something about the case where the syntax-table is changed.
+;; This typically happens with tex-mode and its `$' operator.
+;; - move font-lock-syntactic-keywords in here. Then again, maybe not.
+;; - new functions `syntax-state', ... to replace uses of parse-partial-state
+;; with something higher-level (similar to syntax-ppss-context).
+;; - interaction with mmm-mode.
+;; - what to do when the buffer is narrowed ?
+
+;;; Code:
+
+;; Note: PPSS stands for `parse-partial-sexp state'
