more nearly matching the core SQL scanner. The user-visible effects are: * Block comments (slash-star comments) now nest, as per SQL spec. * In standard_conforming_strings mode, backslash as the last character of a non-E string literal is now correctly taken as an ordinary character; formerly it was misinterpreted as escaping the ending quote. (Since the string also had to pass through the core scanner, this invariably led to syntax errors.) * Formerly, backslashes in the format string of RAISE were always treated as quoting the next character, regardless of mode. Now, they are ordinary characters with standard_conforming_strings on, while with it off, they introduce the same set of escapes as in the core SQL scanner. Also, escape_string_warning is now effective for RAISE format strings. These changes make RAISE format strings work just like any other string literal. This is implemented by copying and pasting a lot of logic from the core scanner. It would be a good idea to look into getting rid of plpgsql's scanner entirely in favor of using the core scanner. However, that involves more change than I can justify making during beta --- in particular, the core scanner would have to become re-entrant. In passing, remove the kluge that made the plpgsql scanner emit T_FUNCTION or T_TRIGGER as a made-up first token. That presumably had some value once upon a time, but now it's just useless complication for both the scanner and the grammar.
