A second type of narrowing. That is what Stefan was insisting upon and that's
what I will provide next patch for.

A lot of development work is already happening in various generic multi-mode
engines. It's hard, but feasible and stuff mostly works without changing any of
the existing code. Making parse-partial-sexp understand islands won't give
much. You can already do that well enough by advising syntax-ppss.
