in in docstring of smie-backward-sexp:

HALFSEXP if non-nil, means skip over a partial sexp if needed.


;;;;;
A partial sexp doesn't mean splitted into equal parts, as "half" indicated.

While judges always should be able to split items into three halfs :)

That's very debatable.  It will skip over one half of an sexp, in my
view (i.e. the infix token plus either its right-hand or left-hand side).
