Statistics about which case is more/less frequent in syntax-ppss.

The 5th slot drives the heuristic to use syntax-begin-function. The rest is only useful if you're interested in tweaking the algorithm.

Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/syntax.el.gz
;; FIXME: Explain this variable.  Currently only its last (5th) slot is used.
;; Perhaps the other slots should be removed?
;; This variable is only used when `syntax-begin-function' is used and
;; will hence be removed together with `syntax-begin-function'.
