As of Erlang/OTP 20.0, the type of ETS tables, ets:tid(), is a
reference(). A request was put forward that the Erlang shell should be
able to handle references in its input.
This commit introduces an extended parser in module lib. It can parse
pids, ports, references, and external funs under the condition that
they can be created in the running system. The parser is meant to be
used internally in Erlang/OTP. The alternative, to extend erl_scan and
erl_parse, was deemed inferior as it would require the abstract format
be able to represent pids, ports, references, and funs, which would be
confusing as they are not expressions as such, but data types.

This extends the shell function c/1 and c/2 so that if the argument is a
module name instead of a file name, it automatically locates the .beam file
and the corresponding source file, and then recompiles the module using the
same compiler options (plus any options passed to c/2). If compilation
fails, the old beam file is preserved. Also adds c(Mod, Opts, Filter),
where the Filter argument allows you to remove old compiler options before
the new options are added.

Use the new function shell:strings/1 to toggle how the Erlang shell
outputs lists of integers.

Use Erlang specs and types for documentation
|
|
prompt strings (io:get_line/{1,2}). io_lib is also updated to
format prompts with the 't' modifier (i.e. ~ts instead of ~s).
|
|
configuration parameter shell_prompt_func can be used for
customizing the Erlang shell prompt.

In the transition from SGML to XML (several releases ago),
bugs were introduced in the documentation, for instance
"\n" replaced by newlines. Correct those bugs.
Also correct double backslashes. They seem to have been introduced very
early in the development of OTP. According to Lars they "solved" a bug
in the generation of HTML &c. Now that standard tools are used instead
of docbuilder, the bug has become visible.
