vim syntax bug

[sergio]

Hello.

autocmd BufNewFile *.zsh call append( 0, [
\ '#!/bin/zsh',
\ '' ] )

vim highlights last ')' with red background as an error, but there is no
error.

This occurs due to the continuation. There's a tradeoff involved;
fixing this sort of thing would require a lot of nextgroups and
additional syntax, going away from fast keyword recognition to regular
expression based matches and regions, and a significant increase in size
of syntax/vim.vim, perhaps doubling it. Its not the largest syntax file
(muttrc.vim has that honor), but doubling its size would make it the
largest by far.

Try putting

let g:vimsyn_noerror= 1

in your .vimrc if this bothers you overmuch.

Chip Campbell
