[erlang-patches] Scan "=<<" as something useful

[Anthony Ramine]

Hello Per,

It counts the number of < characters and scans a '=<' token if the number is odd; so that still works.

Nor I see any syntax knowledge if we just say that erl_scan will avoid returning two consecutive comparison operators if it can. That is just knowledge that '=<' '<' makes no sense, and I can't think of any language where it does.
