#1176882 — Re: [PATCH 1/2] kconfig: also warn of unhandled characters in statements

A more exact commit title would be something like "warn for unhandled
characters before the initial token on a line".

This could say something like "...introduces a warning for unhandled characters
after the initial token on a line, but does not cover unhandled characters
before the initial token, which are ignored using a different mechanism."

Similarly above.

I haven't tried it out to see if there would be problems, but adding '-' to the

n    [A-Za-z0-9_]

definition in zconf.l and adding '---help---' to zconf.gperf seems cleaner than
special-casing it in zconf.l. If '---help---' is treated as a token, then it
makes sense to include '-' among the token characters.

(I also rambled a bit in
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-kbuild/msg11393.html.)

With that change, '-' could be removed from the parameter regex ({n}|[-/.])+ in
zconf.l too.
