wishlist: q[xw] should include all valid symbols

[Paul Miller]

Personally, I'd really like all of the valid qq() and qx[] to
highlight properly. I've spent well over an hour trying to find a way
to include all the possible symbols programatically when I was
maintaining my own personal vim syntax file.

I added a couple qq[] favorites of mine in a fork. I think adding all
the punctuation two lines at a time in the .vim file is the wrong
approach. I hope there's some programmatic way to match the
appropriate symbols ... petdance suggested I take it to the list...

As I mentioned in the bug report, this has been correctly handled for
a long time by the "canonical" (though not bundled with vim) Perl 5
syntax file by mauke. It's available at
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2300 and also in my
fork of Andy's repository: https://github.com/hinrik/vim-perl/tree

How different is this syntax file from the bundled one? It says there
are "some heavy modifications" which I saw in a diff, but I've been
using my own modified bundled syntax file that doesn't depend on
programming style for fold definitions and haven't gotten around yet
to trying to merge the two.

Indeed, it seems to be worth the trouble to try to merge that one in.
It has some really good stuff in it -- including everything *I* want
apparently.
