That's only for font-lock. Parsing was not on the table when that was
introduced, so it doesn't have a similar mechanism.

Probably, but that's a tangent.

Again, I'm talking about using a parser library. We may need to
introduce a way of limiting the parser to a certain range of buffer
text positions, independently of narrowing. As we all know, narrowing
is a problematic feature to use in Lisp programs, so maybe we should
do this better in the case of parsers. Then problems like this one
could be solved more cleanly and simply.

You want to repeat all the arguments we already brought up?
