I'd be very surprised if other packages went to that trouble, but if
needed you can still distinguish the new from the old with something like:

   (defconst pps-is-new
     (let ((st (make-syntax-table)))
       (modify-syntax-entry ?/ ". 14" st)
       (with-temp-buffer
         (with-syntax-table st
           (insert "/")
           (nth 5 (parse-partial-sexp (point-min) (point-max)))))))
