forward-sexp isn't able to leave a string when called from inside.
Which constitutes a bug.

For example curser at end inside string:

case "importdata"
               ^
First backward-sexp would reach beginning of string, OK.
Second call fails.

forward-sexp called at beginning or end should go one level up or return nil if BOB/EOB
