This lets you skip all the loops before the point you're resuming to, which also makes it more accurate by avoiding consuming flags in invalid positions (e.g. the current parser would accept `%-*-d` since it loops through the flags again after each `*`).
I was messing around with something like that, but a lot of complicated control flow really bloats the register count. The first version of this used like 22 and we're already up to 26 so we're well into the bounds of non-trivial. I'm somewhat apprehensive to increase it further, but I can try to see what it costs since I'm not happy with the big `FIXME` up there.
