Hi Bram,

I proposed this patch a while back to Charles, but I don’t think I got a response.

It adds support for "py3 << trim EOF” in vim.vim syntax file.

I can make a GitHub PR if you prefer.

You could make a PR and ping @cecamp
Charles is around but does not spend much time on Vim.

I just looked over your patch. Why is it necessary? syntax/vim.vim,
without it, already handles

py3 <<trim
...
trim

where the "..." is already a python region; also, your insertion
requires trim to precede other words used to set off a python region
(ie. py3 << trimSomethingElse).
Please give an example, too. Is it because you want py3 << trim
SomethingElse supported (note the intervening space between trim and
SomethingElse)? Is the old py3 <<SomethingElse no longer supported,
and are you claiming that no one should use that form? I can make "py3
<< trim SomethingElse" supported without taking down py3 <<
SomethingElse . Is what follows "trim", if anything, always just a
word or can it be a quoted expression, and does the python region
terminator also have just trim or "trim SomethingElse"?

Some information please!
