Is that possible? Anyone had the same thoughts? I think it would be
very very useful for an editor to have such syntax-specific parsing
ability.
For lex/flex, Emacs has the ability to filter out comments and strings
as they do.

There's a package out there that does just that (IIRC it uses bison and
post-processes the C output to turn it in to elisp).
Can't remember the name, tho,

It's called "scanner.el" and written by John Wiegley (famous for several
other Emacs packages).
Look for it on gnu.emacs.sources,

I found his homepage at http://www.newartisans.com/johnw, but there's
no scanner.el found. Also I searched mail archive of
gnu.emacs.sources, but still not found. Where can I download it,
please?

scanner.el only produces lexers, not parsers. And it is somewhat
ancient. It should still work, but no guarantees...

There is the Semantic Bovinator. If I understand correctly, it's a
parser generator written in Emacs Lisp, generating Emacs Lisp code.
The SourceForge project is called CEDET, and it includes context aware
completion as an application of the parser generator.
