[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]
If it can be parsed forwards it can be parsed backwards,
Perhaps you mean it is possible in some theoretical sense.
That's not the issue here. The Emacs sexp-scanning functions
scan backwards in a simple way, and the syntax has to be
suitable for them to handle.
although it might
not be immediately possible to do so.
We need the backward scanning to work when the syntax is installed.
