The definition of "between" draws from two subjects - parsing of
natural language, e.g. earlier in this sentence, "between" appears
between double-quotes, and parsing of comments in source code, e.g.

  foo(); /* bar */ baz(); /* qux */

Both of these subjects use "between" as a gloss for "between a matching
pair of".  Ergo, B is not massively broken in this fashion.
