In the old days (once long ago) the comment editor "cursor" could be
"before" and "after" the current move. So creating something like
{ The game starts } 1. e4 ( { Hm, I would have expected } 1. c4 { from
this guy } )
was perfectly possible. And importing this stuff should simply work as
expected, I would say.
