I think there are two use-cases:

1) batch processing where entire file (or visible portion) is processed by different thread(s), for example on file opening or if some expansion takes place (yasnippet or similar).

This can be done by dividing text in number of blocks (lines or similar) and letting each thread match block atva time against shared pattern database.

2) interactive use; when user is typing actively.

Interactive use is easy, just match ladt word after certain delimiters are typed. Probably does not need threading, but can't be done with multiple threads  as well. Multiple threads can match one word at a time against patterns database split in blocks. Case 2 is probably not worth the round-trip time to the bus, but I don't know.

Just as a thought. Would it be possible?

How do you give the syntax-processing thread access to buffer text, if
it's running asynchronously?
