This is the part that took me the longest to work out in the first
place, I think. `p' being changed doesn't matter here; it should end
up point at (before?) the colon.
The first if statement is at line 630. The second is at 929. Between
the two, *argptr is only changed if we found a C++ class. It might be
changed on "interestingly" named files, also, but if so it's purely a
bug in the twistiness of linespec. At line 633 it points to the
_second_ character (right after the first quote), so if **argptr ==
'"', that means the second quote is right after the first.
