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

[Anthony Ramine]

Hello,

I added a commit to disambiguate the <<<..<< case too. I also rewrote my original code so that it doesn't use lists:duplicate/2 and added a test that checks whether giving 'eof' to a continuation returned from my infinite look-ahead trick does the right thing.

Regards,

Technically the issues involved in how to break =<< vs <<< into tokens are very very similar if not the same as far as erl_scan is concerned -- and are unrelated to people's surprise level.
