For strings, if we know that position POS, which should be outside of
a string, is inside a string, we know that there's an imbalance. *But*
we don't actually know where that imbalance comes from (it's just
"somewhere before POS"), so we can't really tell if that imbalance is
before or after window-end unless POS is itself before window-end.
