The documentation for fixed width areas states: A “fixed-width line” starts
with a colon character (:) and either a whitespace character or the immediate
end of the line.
Using the test document:
```
:<TAB>foo
```
parses as a paragraph instead of a fixed-width area:
```
(org-data
(:standard-properties
[1 1 1 7 7 0 nil org-data nil nil nil 3 7 nil #<buffer *scratch*> nil nil nil]
:path nil :CATEGORY nil)
(section
(:standard-properties
[1 1 1 7 7 0 nil first-section nil nil nil 1 7 nil #<buffer *scratch*> nil
nil #0])
(paragraph
(:standard-properties
[1 1 1 7 7 0 nil top-comment nil nil nil nil nil nil #<buffer *scratch*>
nil nil #1])
#(": foo\n" 0 6
(:parent #2)))))
```
