Re: Parser bug: if missing ", " in list between records, the first is ignored, and no parser warnings are given.

Two strings are concatanated.

"abc" "def".
"abcdef"

even without ++.

If you look at my second mail,
erl guess that {test, 2, 6} is a record, because a record is only a tuple.

#test is only a facility in order not to write default values in a tuple. that s all.
