Log message:
    Improve lexer's error reporting.  You get the whole token mentioned now
    in parse error messages, not just the part scanned by the last flex rule.
    For example,
    select "foo" "bar";
    used to draw
    ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near """
    which was rather unhelpful.  Now it gives
    ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near ""bar""
    Also, error messages concerning bitstring literals and suchlike will
    quote the source text at you, not the processed internal form of the literal.
