2013-02-11Clean up of documentation of type languageKostis Sagonas
Prompted by noticing that the type language description was a bit vague in its explanation of the syntax and semantics of bitstring types, I decided to add this information. While at it, a general clean up and rephrasing was performed. The binary() type is now described as an alias, as it should be, and a bitstring() type is also described as a built-in alias.

2013-01-25Extend char() to Unicode charactersHans Bolinder
The code related to the introduction of unicode_string() and unicode_char() has been removed. The types char() and string() have been extended to include Unicode characters. In fact char() was changed some time ago; this commit is about cleaning up the documentation and introduce better names for some functions.
2013-01-02[stdlib, kernel] Introduce Unicode support for Erlang source filesHans Bolinder
Expect modifications, additions and corrections. There is a kludge in file_io_server and erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.
