x={'foo':7} is parsed incorrectly #10

Something is wrong with the {' if I add a space between the { and the ' everything is ok.

The problem is that I have some existing code that I cannot chage...

@scharf Michael, I assume you actually can do this issue.

well -- it is kind of solved by my solution to the string quoting problems: at least the parser does not get confused, though the string is not seen as string by the highlighter. In fact the first character after a { is swallowed. If you put a number the the first digit is swallowed, if you put true it is not highlighted...

Something in the grammar/lexer is that swollows the first character after a '{'.

My guess is that it is the INDENT '{*' token in some way -- but I have not looked how the parser/lexer have been extended to deal with the indentation....

Could this xml file defining Coffee language help to all syntax issues?

I think if we take language definition from other tools, we can save time on the very basic. If we could read such files, we insure some future version updates.
