Er no, I meant what I wrote: the result of (syntax-ppss pos) must match
that of (parse-partial-sexp (point-min) pos). I think ppss-0 and ppss-1
did actually match (but I can't quite remember).

Indeed. But that is how syntax-ppss is specified, and (partially) how
it is implemented.

syntax-ppss is broken, and can't be fixed. The only sensible fix would
be to specify that (syntax-ppss pos) is the same as (parse-partial-sexp
1 pos). But that is then a totally different function, and there are
around 200 uses in the Emacs sources to check and fix, to say nothing of
external code.

I'm trying to figure that out. Wouldn't that still leave you with
problems when point-min is inside a string?
