Syntastic integration

⚠️ Warning: older versions (<= 3.4.0-106) of Syntastic check Elixir scripts by executing them. In addition to being unsafe, this can cause Vim to hang while saving Elixir scripts. This is not an error in vim-elixir. This issue can be fixed in Syntastic by disabling Elixir checking by default.

If your version of Syntastic is below 3.4.0-107 (16 July 2014), you should update to a newer version.
