Bugs, plural? Alan has filed just one so far, and I've posted the
trivial patch.

The aforementioned patch both fixes the bug and allows syntax-ppss to
continue to be used in the fashion I've mentioned previously.
The question that's holding it, as far as I'm concerned, if whether the
"hard narrowing" discussion reaches a satisfying conclusion. If it does,
we won't really need syntax-ppss-dont-widen.

I've never said anything about avoiding making changes to it. But when
we do that, we usually try to accommodate the existing uses (the
importance of which depends on how many uses there are out there).
