> int min_end = MIN2(0, end);
> while (-4 <= start && start < min_end) {
> if (pos >= buf->length()) break;
> // ...
> start++;

> I would have liked to change the `-4` to `-1` into actual names, but I've no clue where those come from. It doesn't seem worth it to change them if they just happen to be a kludge relying on internal details, or something like that.
