Okay, I think what's got me confused is that you calculate `Offset` but never actually use it (or modify `Pos.BufferPtr`). I was thinking you would have been able to use `ltrim().starts_with(...)` but I see now that the issue is we're at the start of the comment, beyond seeing `par`, and we want to backtrack.

But the logic below seems to be that we already know we're parsing a par command, so why do we need to do this check in the first place? (e.g., we get into this code path via:
```
 else if (Info->IsParCommand)
      S.actOnBlockCommandArgs(BC,
                              parseParCommandArgs(Retokenizer, Info->NumArgs));
```
and eventually land here, so don't we already know this is a par command?)
