I believe Alan's text is more correct, although it depends on the state
argument you passed into parse-partial-sexp.
His text is correct if you pass a STATE argument that reflects parsing
since the beginning of the buffer. I think my text is always correct,
with the understanding that "the text that was parsed" includes
previous calls carried over in the STATE argument.
