+// Regression tests for https://github.com/TylerBrinks/SqlParser-cs/issues/70
+//
+// The `->>` (LongArrow) JSON-extraction operator was incorrectly consuming the
+// character immediately following `->>` when there was no whitespace between
+// the operator and the next token. When that character was a single quote
+// starting a string literal, the tokenizer would then run past the closing
+// quote looking for a terminator that no longer existed, raising
+// "Unterminated string literal". Example from the bug report:
+//
+//     meta->>'description'       -- failed to tokenize
+//     meta ->> 'description'     -- worked because the extra Next() ate the space
+//
+// Scope of these tests
+// --------------------
+// `->>` is NOT part of the ANSI/ISO SQL standard. It originated as a
+// PostgreSQL extension and has since been adopted by a handful of other
+// engines. It is NOT supported by Snowflake, BigQuery, MS SQL Server, Hive,
+// Databricks, ClickHouse, Oracle, or ANSI SQL, which use other mechanisms for
+// JSON extraction (`JSON_VALUE`, `get_json_object`, `col:path`, etc.).
+//
+// We therefore only exercise these tests against dialects that genuinely
+// support `->>`:
+//   - PostgreSQL  (native, originated here)
+//   - DuckDB      (the dialect from the bug report)
+//   - MySQL       (since 5.7.13, as shorthand for JSON_UNQUOTE(JSON_EXTRACT(...)))
+//   - SQLite      (since 3.38.0, 2022)
+//   - Redshift    (Postgres-derived)
+//   - Generic     (the repo's permissive catch-all dialect)
