[erlang-bugs] Missing comma between maps results in merge

[Pierre Fenoll]

I believe there are 2 ways to inhibit this behavior:
• Change the behavior of the merge of maps/records literals (non backwards compatible)
• introduce a new maps/records syntax that is not prefix (backwards compatible)

Using a non-prefix syntax for maps and records would single-handedly allow for making .,; separators redundant and thus optional.
