It's not more than 2 years ago or so that I had
open-paren-in-column-0-is-defun-start set to nil for a while. I reset
it eventually since it caused holdups in scheme-mode (which, being based
on lisp-mode, is one of the most modern modes) when working on LilyPond.
Possibly also for working on Elisp.
I don't remember the details completely, but I do remember that I had
usability reasons to reset it again to its default value.

parse-partial-sexp is not exactly new.
