    scanner: fix Position returned by Scan, Pos · eaae95fa
    Robert Griesemer authored
    The implementation of the position computation
    was surprisingly broken. Implemented fixes and
    added extra test cases.
    
    There is a slight interface change: Calling
    Pos() returns the current position; but if
    called before Scan() that position may not
    be the position of the next token returned
    by Scan() (depending on the scan settings
    and the source text) - this in contrast to
    the original comment.
    
    However, after calling Scan(), the Scanner's
    Position field reports the position of the
    scanned token, as before.
    
    Fixes #1327.
