Errors

✖ less (1.246167ms)
  AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Expected values to be strictly deep-equal:
  + actual - expected
  
    {
  +   column: 4,
  -   column: 7,
      line: 1,
  +   offset: 3
  -   offset: 7
    }

Expected Behavior

I expected postcss-less to have accurate source positioning for inline comments

Actual Behavior

postcss-less has incorrect positions

How can we reproduce the behavior?

Run the code above.
It is a minimal test showing the behavior in:

• standard CSS with an equivalent standard comment
• postcss-scss with the exact same inline comment
• postcss-less with the exact same inline comment

Would be happy to have a contribution to resolve this issue. I don't have much time for maintenance these days.
