Re: [gfortran] Scanner rewrite, fix for PR13702

The context in this patch shows that it was a pre-existing condition that
this function lacks such a comment.  Hopefully gfortran can get such
comments while people still remember the intent from when the functions
were written rather than trying to reverse engineer much later.


Actually, people don't remember them for the scanner. Andy Vaught wrote it, and I think we all know what happened. Right now I understand the scanner very well, and I will add any missing comments after I return from a vacation that I'm leaving for tomorrow.
