In playing a bit more, it seems my problem with R may be that only one
'syntax include'
is allowed at a time. When the R 'syntax include' is the only one in
my main syntax file the nested R region gets highlighted properly.
When the R 'syntax include' is the second 'syntax include' after the
Python one, then only the Python nested region gets highlighted. So
it seems only the first 'syntax include' is processed or recognized.
Does that sound right? Only one nested language can be highlighted at
a time?

Still have the problem with the Perl highlighting continuing in non-
Perl text down beyond the Perl region.
