(Fbackward_prefix_chars): Return immediately if point is at BEGV.
(prev_char_comend_first): New function.
(back_comment): Use that. Carefully update syntax table position
for each character that is fetched.
(Fforward_comment): Likewise.
(scan_lists): Likewise.

Delete the explicit calls to UPDATE_SYNTAX_TABLE_FORWARD.
Also set prev_from_syntax (new local var). Test that in the loop,
instead of fetching syntax of the previous char.
(Fforward_comment): Always use both FROM and FROM_BYTE to set point.
Use dec_bytepos not DEC_POS.
(scan_lists): Handle unibyte buffers when decrementing temp_pos.
(INC_FROM): Use INC_BOTH.
(inc_bytepos, dec_bytepos): In unibyte mode, just increment bytepos.
(find_defun_start): Additional arg POS_BYTE.
Save final byte pos in find_start_value_byte.
(find_start_value_byte): New variable.
(Fforward_comment): Scan by bytes and chars.
(Fbackward_prefix_chars): Scan by bytes and chars.
(scan_words, scan_sexps_forward): Scan bytes as well as chars.
(skip_chars, scan_lists): Scan by bytes and chars. Now static.
(char_quoted): Take charpos and bytepos as args.
(back_comment): Likewise.
(update_syntax_table): Arg renamed.
(inc_bytepos, dec_bytepos): New functions.
text property into account when doing SYNTAX (c).
(ST_COMMENT_STYLE, ST_STRING_STYLE): New codes to denote
delimiters for new types of strings and comments.
(Vparse_sexp_lookup_properties): New variable.
(struct lisp_parse_state): Comment updated.
(gl_state): New global variable.
(update_syntax_table): New function.
(char_quoted): Move earlier, update gl_state when needed.
(find_defun_start): Update gl_state when needed.
(back_comment): New function.
(Scomment_fence, Sstring_fence): New delimeter char classes
denoted by `!' and `|'.
(Fchar_syntax, Fmatching_paren): Update gl_state to whole-bufferstate.
(scan_words): update gl_state when needed.
(Fskip_chars_forward): Move from search.c.
(Fskip_chars_backward): Move from search.c.
(Fskip_syntax_forward): Move from search.c.
(Fskip_syntax_backward): Move from search.c.
(skip_chars): Move from search.c.
(Fforward_comment, scan_lists): Update gl_state when needed.
Handle Scomment_fence, Sstring_fence.
(Fbackward_prefix_chars) Update gl_state when needed.
(scan_sexps_forward): Update gl_state when needed.
Handle Scomment_fence, Sstring_fence. If comment_stop==-1, stop at start
or end of comment or string.
(Fparse-partial-sexp): Doc fix.
(syms_of_syntax): Move initialization of skip* from search.c.
(Vsyntax_code_object): New variable.
(Fmodify_syntax_entry): Handle multibyte characters. A multibyte
character in matching parenthesis is also handled correctly. Use
shared object in the vector Vsyntax_code_object for an ASCII
character.
(describe_syntax): Handle a multibyte character in matching
parenthesis.
(describe_syntax_1): Describe also parent syntax tables.
(scan_words, Fforward_comment): Handle multibyte characters.
(scan_lists, char_quoted, Fbackward_prefix_chars): Likewise.
(scan_sexps_forward): Likewise.
(init_syntax_once): Initialize Vsyntax_code_object.
Initialize Vstandard_syntax_table by share objects in
Vsyntax_code_object.
(syms_of_syntax): Staticpro Vsyntax_code_object.
