Clearer would be
This function returns the state that the parser would have at
position @var{pos}, if it were started with a default start state
at the beginning of the buffer. Thus, it is equivalent to
@code(parse-partial-sexp (point-min) @var{pos}), except that
@code{syntax-ppss} uses a cache to speed up the
computation. Also, the 2nd and 6th value of the returned state are
not meaningful.
@end defun
Which two values does "the 2nd and 6th value" refer to? It isn't
clear to me; I am not sure whether they are counted 0-origin or
1-origin. It won't be clear to the reader, either.
So please give descriptions of them, not just numbers.
