While expanding on the comments in the ISA string parsing code, I
noticed that the conditional decrement of `isa` at the end of the loop
was a bit odd.
The parsing code expects that at the start of the for loop, `isa` will
point to the first character of the next unparsed extension.
However, depending on what the next extension is, this may not be true.
Unless the next extension is a multi-letter extension preceded by an
underscore, `isa` will either point to the string's null-terminator or
to the first character of the next extension, once the switch statement
has been evaluated.
Obviously incrementing `isa` at the end of the loop could cause it to
increment past the null terminator or miss a single letter extension, so
`isa` is conditionally decremented, just so that the loop can increment
it again.

It's easier to understand the code if, instead of this decrement +
increment dance, we instead use a while loop & rely on the handling of
individual extension types to leave `isa` pointing to the first
character of the next extension.
As already mentioned, this won't be the case where the following
extension is multi-letter & preceded by an underscore. To handle that,
invert the check and increment rather than decrement.
Hopefully this eliminates a "huh?!?" moment the next time somebody tries
to understand this code.
