The compile function expects a list of paths in the LibDirs parameter,
however when calling erlang_check_file.erl with an additional path (for
example when using the "g:syntastic_erlc_include_path" option), a
string would be passed instead. Because strings in Erlang are lists,
each character of the string would have been interpreted as a lib path.
The new function ensures line numbers in loclists are not beyond end of
buffer. The implementation is very inefficient, because it loads all
buffers in memory.
`eslint` and `lessc` checkers need this function.
Syntastic attempts to catch abnormal termination conditions from checkers by
looking at their exit codes. The "cmd.exe" shell on Windows make these checks
meaningless, by returning 1 to Vim when the checkers exit with non-zero codes.
The above variable can be used to disable exit code checks in syntastic.
This is especially important when testing/using variables that do not
exist, because then a new shell is spawned by Vim.
But since they should be available already in Vim from the (shell) env
there is no point in doing so.

Previously, non-core users could not use ocamlc as their syntax checker because this check would reset the wrong variable.
Setting g:syntastic_ocaml_use_ocamlc without core now works as intended.
This executes the code your files. This is probably fine if you wrote
the files yourself, but it can be a problem if you're trying to check
third party files. If you are 100% willing to let Vim run the code in
your files, set g:syntastic_enable_elixir_checker to 1 in your vimrc.
