Thank you.

It looks really complicated.

The wiki page with the tip also says (at the end) the highlighting does
not end where it should, and I happen to run into exactly this bug. :(

I also have another question: how do I make a syntax region that starts
with a possibly-quoted identifier, like:

"script"-\delimit'er'

and ends with the /necessarily/ the same *un-quoted* identifier:

script_delimiter

Is there a way to express this with vim syntax highlighting commands ?

Also, I would like to define a new syntax region that is contained in
the shHereDoc group (already defined in syntax/sh.vim), and that:
- start where the shHereDoc starts, if the shHereDoc starts
with the exact text '# vi:ft=sh' as one of the first 4 lines
- ends where the shHereDoc ends
Can I express this with vim syntax highlighting ?

Thank you,
Timothy Madden
